Demand for affordable housing in Harrow is increasing and we face new challenges.
We consult residents and other stakeholders when we write our housing strategies and policies.
To consider the impact of our decisions we use equalities impact assessments. This ensures that our policies and services are fair and open to all. It also ensures that they meet the needs of all our service users.
