Affordable Housing Commission: Making housing affordable after Covid-19

The Almshouse Association’s response to the Affordable Housing Commission’s Making Housing Affordable After COVID-19 report

The Almshouse Association agrees with the Affordable Housing Commission that social and affordable housing should be at the heart of the nation’s recovery from COVID-19. Our country faced a mammoth task in dealing with the housing crisis before the Coronavirus pandemic, but now we have an opportunity to achieve real, long-lasting change. We believe that almshouses can form part of this change by allowing those in need to access high-quality housing which promotes an individual’s independence and develops close-knit community living.

We look forward to working closely with Lord Best and the Affordable Housing Commission and hope that we can continue to pressure national and local government to implement the Commission’s recommendations.
