•  enabling new social housing developments in partnership with local housing associations.
• providing tenancy support to vulnerable people, in partnership with third sector partners.
• giving advice on home energy efficiency and safety.
• enforcing the Rent Smart Wales registration/licensing scheme in private rented properties.
• responding to thousands of nuisance complaints and mediating or taking enforcement action to ensure that people have safe and healthy homes and communities.
• inspecting private rented properties to ensure they are safe for occupation and not a risk to health or present a risk from fire.
• bringing empty homes back into occupation in the County and raising the standard of properties
