North Lanarkshire Council have announced an updated Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) following the approval of additional projects to deliver more new, affordable homes across the region.

The Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) aims to deliver 3,229 new affordable homes over the next five years, regenerating and investing in our communities and town centres, bringing benefits to the local economy including new jobs and improving the lives of our tenants and residents.


New priorities have been identified across North Lanarkshire and are now being added to previously agreed projects and will help meet local housing need. These projects will be delivered by the council and registered social landlords (RSLs), supported by funding from the Scottish Government.

These new projects aim to provide a further 931 homes, across North Lanarkshire, for council tenants and tenants of RSL’s. In addition to new construction, the council’s Empty Homes Purchase Scheme will continue to seek to bring more empty, unused homes back into our housing stock, while the Open Market Purchase Scheme continues to be available for owners.
