The Almshouse Association has submitted a response to the Government’s green paper ‘A new deal for social housing’ and an accompanying call for evidence on the review of social housing regulation.

Although the proposals in the paper will only affect registered providers, there may be implications for the wider membership.

The Association highlighted areas of best practice regarding health and well-being, the importance of local governance arrangements and that all almshouse charities should be classified as affordable housing for planning purposes.

The consultation responses can be found here.

Thank you to all members for their contributions and comments. We will keep you updated with progress.
