Rochford Housing
Following the transfer of the Council's housing stock to
Rochford Housing Association, the Council no longer owns or manages
properties. Instead, we work with Rochford Housing Association,
other housing associations in the District and private landlords to
provide a stock of homes that meets the needs of our community.
Rochford Housing Association is a member of Sanctuary Housing
Group who own and manage over 60,000 homes across the country.
Housing Strategy
This Housing strategy assesses the District's current and future
Housing Needs, and sets out the Council's approach to meeting those
needs. It takes account of national and sub-regional priorities and
links between other Council strategies that influence and are
influenced by this Housing Strategy. The Strategy identifies the
Council's key housing priorities and how it intends to deliver
them.

Housing Grants
Use the links below to find out more information about the
different types of housing grants that you may be eligible
for. Please also see the Energy Efficiency section below for
information about the different types of energy
assistance that you may be eligible for.
Energy Efficiency
Up to 25% of the heat in your home can be lost through the roof.
Most homes have some kind of insulation but it is often inadequate.
For optimum energy efficiency, you should have insulation that is
270mm deep.
Up to 35% of the heat in your home can be lost through the
walls. Cavity wall insulation is one of the best ways to
reduce your heating bills as it increases the energy efficiency of
your home. If your home was built after 1930, it will probably have
"cavity" walls, this means there is a gap in the walls that can be
filled with insulation. If you insulate these cavities, you'll
bring your home up to current standards and make it warmer, more
comfortable and cheaper to heat.
