Association releases new research on financial benefits of almshouses

The Almshouse Association is excited to publish a new report, produced by Housing LIN, on the financial benefits of almshouses.

This report represents the first significant investigation into the financial benefits almshouses provide to society and creates a strong foundation for further investigation.

The key findings of the report are:

• £43m total financial benefit per year
• Almshouse residents are less likely to use domiciliary care
• Residents make less GP appointments and are less likely to visit A&E
• Almshouse contribute to local economies through their staff and volunteers with an estimated value of £56m.

We would like to thank Housing LIN for producing such a detailed and insightful report. We hope that you enjoy reading it!

The full report can be found here.
