Council approves three year vision for housing services
Carmarthenshire County Council’s three year Housing Investment Programme 2025-2028 has recently been approved at a meeting of Full Council.
The programme sets out the Council’s vision for maintaining Council owned homes and delivering affordable housing in the county.
The investment programme has been made possible through income received from rent payments and other funding sources, enabling an investment exceeding £282m (capital £114m and revenue £168m) to deliver housing services over the next three years.
