Step Forward has stepped up to bring the housing plight
of ex-services personnel to attention. Working alongside First Ark, a social
enterprise and social investment company based in the North West, Step Forward
Housing have agreed to purchase homes in Tytherington, Cheshire. The
organisation will then make them available to armed forces/ ex-armed forces
personnel, as well as emergency workers such as the fire and ambulance

and drawing on their expertise, Step Forward Housing plan on making 200 homes
available for shared ownership and rental this year, a figure set to increase
year upon year. Read more on 24housing.
