Homes and Communities Board

By 2050:

60,000 new homes will have been built, of which 24,000 are affordable, and since 2037 all new homes built in the city will be fully accessible.
Everyone will be able to access fuel, insulation and heating to ensure nobody suffers from a cold home.
The last sleeping bag used on the streets of Bristol by a homeless person will have been in the 2020s.
The number of empty properties will be reduced; the waiting time for social housing will be reduced, and Bristol will have the lowest rate of homelessness for any city of its size across the UK.
We will live without fear of hate crime.
We will hear fewer lone voices because social isolation will have halved since 2018. Shops, streets and community spaces will be age friendly and accessible to all.
