Director of Housing
Redbridge Council's Director of Housing is currently leading the development of a new Supported Housing Strategy.
Redbridge Council's Director of Housing, Andrew Billany, led discussions on the first draft of a new Supported Housing Strategy in September 2026. This strategy, a statutory requirement under the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023, aims to ensure vulnerable residents have access to safe, high-quality homes and personalised support. The council's Housing Committee is shaping the strategy, which has a statutory deadline of March 31, 2027.
In September 2026, Redbridge Council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee reviewed the authority's housing engagement strategy. The committee noted the adoption of four key council housing landlord policies, including Anti-Social Behaviour, Domestic Abuse, Engagement Strategy, and Asset Management Strategy. Councillor Saima Ahmed, Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning, introduced these policies, which aim to formalise and strengthen the council's approach to housing management and tenant engagement.
No upcoming meetings are currently scheduled to discuss the Director of Housing's work. The role of Director of Housing at Redbridge Council involves overseeing the council's housing services and strategies, including tenant satisfaction, which saw an improvement in residents feeling heard in the 2025/26 Tenant Satisfaction Measures report.
