Description
There is a shortage of affordable housing in the City of Coventry, both within the social housing and the private rented sectors. Coventry is a non-stockholding authority, having transferred its housing stock in 2000 and closed its Housing Revenue Account (HRA). As of September 2025, there were over 10,500 households registered on the Council’s allocations scheme with 1,543 households in Band 1 (urgent need). The number of households in temporary accommodation (TA) has risen sharply in Coventry, with circa 1,000 families in TA.
Coventry sought assistance with the scoping and development of an options appraisal for a model that will secure 200 properties, as a working number, to be let at a below market rent, to families currently living in TA. The council is keen to take decisive action to have a meaningful and strategic impact on the availability of affordable housing in Coventry to shift this position and reduce the number of households living in TA.
The Council wishes to engage the market to consider the financial, legal, and operational feasibility of alternative options that may enable the securing of c. 200 properties.
