Adur & Worthing Housing Strategy

The Adur & Worthing Housing Strategy 2025 - 2030 has been jointly developed by Adur District and Worthing Borough Councils.

The councils believe that housing is a basic human right. Our goal is for everyone in Adur and Worthing to have access to a safe, secure, genuinely affordable home of good quality. Through the strategy the councils also seek to:

Promote dignity
Support good health and wellbeing
Empower people to participate fully in thriving and inclusive communities

Providing a decent and affordable home for everyone living in Adur and Worthing is one of our most important tasks, but also our biggest challenge. The reasons for Adur and Worthing's housing shortage are complex, affected by both national and local issues. This housing crisis impacts nearly every part of our residents' lives.

This new housing strategy for Adur and Worthing describes our ambition and sets out the concrete steps we will take towards achieving this ambition in the next five years. We want to ensure everyone can have a home where they feel comfortable, safe, and that positively contributes to their health and wellbeing. Both Adur District and Worthing Borough Councils believe this is essential for a good life, where communities can thrive and neighbourhoods are safe and prosperous.
