OUR SERVICES

Temporary accommodation has become one of the fastest-rising pressures on local government finances. Councils are spending record amounts on nightly-paid provision, often far from residents’ communities and in buildings never designed for families. At the same time, demand is rising, statutory duties remain unavoidable, and suitable options in the private rented sector are increasingly limited.

​

LGPC helps councils use their own estate - and the opportunities around it - to reduce reliance on costly, unsuitable temporary accommodation while improving standards and long-term outcomes.

​

We identify sites suitable for meanwhile use, conversion, or modern methods of construction (MMC), and we map deliverable routes that align with procurement, funding and planning requirements. Our approach blends strategic estate review with housing insight to create realistic, affordable supply that can be delivered quickly.

​

The goal is simple:

reduce overspend, improve quality, and give councils greater control over their housing duty.
