    What does the plan need to include?

    1. Assessment of current and future housing needs (Assessment); 
    2. Objectives and targets relating to housing needs (Objectives and Targets); 
    3. A description of the measures proposed to meet the objectives and targets (Planning); and 
    4. A description of how progress towards meeting the objectives and targets will be measured (Achievement).
