The average house price is almost £270,000 across the region
North Northamptonshire Council is facing demands for a clearer strategy to build more affordable social housing and preventing homelessness in the area - as a councillor warned it was facing a crisis.
Speaking at a meeting in August, she said: "I know that we take housing seriously and our housing teams work hard. This motion asks us to be proactive, though, and not reactive. It’s time for a clear vision and a strategy for the building and the development of social housing across North Northamptonshire to meet the growing need for affordable housing."In North Northants the average house price is almost £270,000 according to Land Registry data.
People are able to register for affordable housing on the council's website where the team will assess applications. However, they recognise that there is a "high demand for affordable housing which cannot be fully met from available properties through the housing register".
