It also looks at how we can help people stay in their homes.

To do this we'll:

  • give help to keep homes in good repair

Strategic priorities

Priority 2: Homes That Meet a Lifetime of Needs, Supporting Residents to Live Independently

Priority 3: Working Together to Deliver the Advice and Support People Need, When They Need it

Priority 4: Good Quality Homes (and Neighbourhoods), Improving Standard across East Renfrewshire
