Welcome

Elevate is one of the Government’s Housing Market Renewal pathfinders, charged with finding innovative solutions to the problem of low demand and housing market collapse in towns across Pennine Lancashire.

A major part of the programme focuses on improving the quality and diversity of the housing stock, but the challenge is greater than that. Sustainable neighbourhoods cannot be created through housing renewal alone. Elevate is working with public and private sector partners – including the local authorities of Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle and Rossendale, and Lancashire County Council - to improve economic prosperity, the environment, community safety, cohesion, educational attainment and health, to make Pennine Lancashire a place where people choose to live, work, visit and relax.
