Study Shows Social Benefit Of Housing Investment

Research carried out by Housing Plus Group has revealed that local communities benefit by up to £11 for every £1 invested in affordable housing and retirement living accommodation.

Some of the most significant social return on investment was recorded in areas around new Extra Care communities. Read more on the Housing Plus website.
