The local picture
In 2022 it became clear that the cost of living is increasing at an unprecedented rate for residents of the UK.
This page focuses on what the Housing Board for Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and West Suffolk can do to help to try to alleviate the effect of this increase.
Much of the Board’s role is about sharing information from a wide range of partners, on the help and support they can offer. These links are listed under “partners”.
However there are topics such as housing affordability which, while not in the direct control of the Housing Board, is an issue we can work on together aiming to ensure there are homes affordable to local people which are available, of a decent quality, and meet the individual household’s needs. These are listed under “resources”.
