Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The high number of vacant properties and the duration of the vacancies raise concerns about housing supply and the pace of local regeneration efforts. The Council noted that some units located in designated regeneration areas are eligible for capital funding under programs such as SHIP Renew and SHIP LA-Led Buy and Renew.
