With the right support we can do more to help communities thrive.

This briefing is designed to support conversations with local candidates and sets out the difference members make to their residents and communities.

Place-based housing associations don't just provide homes, they build places. As communities are hit by the housing crisis, cost-of-living crisis, and withdrawal of public services, their role has become even more important.

This briefing explains the role and impact of place-based housing and how, with the right support from the new government, they can overcome these challenges and do more to help every part of the country thrive.
