ARCH Demonstrates the Benefits of Building New Council Homes

The Association of Retained Council Housing (ARCH) has launched a report showcasing the achievements of local authorities in building new homes and putting the business case for further investment. The report Firm Foundations: The holistic benefits of house-building by stock retained councils puts the case for building new council homes. The report includes case studies demonstrating the achievements of ARCH member authorities in building to high standards within tight deadlines required by the Homes and Communities Agency’s Local Authority New Build fund. It shows the value for money provided by council building and the wider social and environmental benefits of stock retained authorities being direct providers of new homes.
