Going Beyond homes

Leading social enterprise, Places for People (PfP), says as well as building desperately needed quality homes, social housing providers can help Government deliver a brighter future for all - as a new study highlights serious barriers and cost of living pressures facing social housing customers.  

PfP owns or manages 245,000 homes across the UK, including 74,000 social homes. It has the largest pipeline in its sector with over 13,000 homes expected over the next five years, and more than 2,000 completions set for this year alone.   

In the run up to the General Election in 2024, Places for People lobbied all political parties to build more social homes as part of its #TimetoBuild campaign and is encouraged by this Government’s plans to build 1.5million new homes.  

However, the housing crisis goes much further than bricks and mortar and PfP says – alongside other social housing providers – it is well placed to support those at the centre of the housing crisis with the issues and financial pressures they face and can be a partner of Government as it aims to improve living standards alongside building homes.
