Housing and housebuilding play an enormous part in the wellbeing and prosperity of our region, and the Council has a broad housing role of acting as an investor, provider, enabler, regulator and enforcer. We are also a landlord, owning around 10,000 council houses. Our council houses are managed by Solihull Community Housing who work in partnership with us across a range of priorities including housing delivery, decent and safe homes and supporting those affected by homelessness.
