The Almshouse Association has partnered with Housing LIN for a research project which will enable us to better understand the benefits of living in an almshouse.
Current evidence in this area is difficult to find, with it largely coming via word of mouth. We know how brilliant almshouses are and the life changing opportunities they bring to those who live in them. Yet in our efforts to promote a better understanding of the almshouse model, we need firm evidence which we can present to stakeholders and politicians. It is hoped that this research will provide a cost-benefit analysis of the model, with the hope of allowing us to make a stronger argument for allowing more almshouses across the country. But we cannot complete this research without your help.
We know that you are busy, but you would really help to improve the quality of the research if you could fill in the survey by clicking in the link below. We understand you might not have access to all the data which is requested, but we would ask you to fill in as much as you are able to provide to allow us to create the most complete picture.
Housing LIN are also looking for participants to take part in some more in-depth interviews following on from the questionnaire. If you would like to take part then please include your details on the relevant question.
Thank you so much for your time. We all know the benefits of almshouses; now it’s time everyone else does!
