Council Puts £10m into Fund for Homeless Families

A local authority is to invest in a property fund that is designed to own and manage accommodation for homeless people stuck on waiting lists. Croydon Council’s initial investment will be £10 million in Real Lettings, which has been set up in partnership by fund manager Resonance and homelessness charity Broadway. Real Lettings is designed to produce a return for investors that comes from an increase in property values and rental income. Real Lettings is expected to secure 94 one and two-bedroom properties in London for Croydon Council over the coming months. The investment is part of the council’s 2014/15 capital budget.
