Help shape the future of housing in Barking and Dagenham

We’re developing a new long-term Housing Strategy for 2026 to 2036 and we want to hear from you.

Housing affects all of us – whether it's about affordability, quality, safety, security, or the type of homes being built. The Housing Strategy sets out our long-term plan to ensure everyone in Barking and Dagenham has access to a safe, affordable, and good quality home. 

It’s about tackling local housing challenges and improving the services, support, and opportunities that matter most to our residents. Your experiences and ideas are vital in shaping a strategy that truly reflects the needs and aspirations of our borough for years to come.

Join us at our community events

We’re holding two events in September where you can meet the people developing the Housing Strategy, share your views, and help shape the borough’s housing future. 

Everyone is welcome!
