Housing
On the 29th March 2004 the Council transferred its housing stock
to the newly formed Bromsgrove District Housing Trust
(BDHT). BDHT are now the largest social landlord in the
District managing over 3,000 dwellings. On behalf of the Council,
BDHT also operate the Council's housing register, nominate tenants
for RSL dwellings that become available and carry out the
assessment of homeless applications and provide temporary
accommodation where appropriate. The management function for the
temporary accommodation and the Houndsfield Lane Caravan Site which
remain in the ownership of the Council is carried out by BDHT.

District is:
“Making best use of existing accommodation by improving the
