​This report looks into housing options for Jersey’s key workers.

The report, which was prepared on behalf of the Government of Jersey by independent housing advisors, Altair, examined the suitability of current key worker housing and set out potential solutions to address staff recruitment and retention pressures faced by a number of government departments.  Among its findings and recommendations, the report identifies the need to:

• review employment practices that may create barriers to the recruitment and retention of key workers
• develop new good quality key worker accommodation, including

• Short-term ‘landing’ accommodation for new arrivals
• Long-term leased accommodation
• Partial ownership

• make any required changes in legislation to facilitate the delivery of the key worker accommodation solution.
