Your views matter
Edinburgh’s Local Housing Strategy (LHS) will cover all tenures and types of housing and will set out the priorities for delivering housing and related services. It is a statutory requirement that we produce a Local Housing Strategy every five years. With the fastest growing population in Scotland and facing unprecedented challenges, it has never been more important to have a strong housing strategy that reflects the views of those living in the city. We would like to know what you think about housing in Edinburgh.
An initial on-line consultation survey was held for six weeks, closing on 14th June 2024. We received 345 responses. These included in-depth comments across a range of issues. Feedback on the survey is available.

Following on from the initial on-line survey, a series of workshop events were held involving a wide range of stakeholders along with an online feedback route. Information on these will be posted by end February 2025.
What happens next
We will continue to engage, consult and speak to as many people as possible. A draft strategy will be published online at the end of February 2025 and we will ask for your feedback on it.
We will keep these web pages updated and use the mailing list to let people know how they can stay involved. If you would like to join the LHS development mailing list, please email localhousingstrategy@edinburgh.gov.uk.
