English Housing Survey results published

The English Housing Survey (EHS) is a national survey of people’s housing circumstances and the condition and energy efficiency of housing in England.

It is one of the longest standing government surveys and was first run in 1967.

On 14 December 2023 Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities published the initial findings from the 2022-23 survey, which can be accessed via the gov.uk website.

The release of this data is a good reminder of two important reports carried out for The Almshouse Association.

• Firstly a Report into Longevity by the Bayes Business School which concluded that residents of almshouses can have their longevity boosted by up to 2 and half years. 
• Secondly, a Report on the impact of almshouse charities in the pandemic by the Smith Institute which was able to demonstrate the positive contributions made by almshouse charities. 

These and other reports can be found on our website via Almshouse research and published material
