Delighted to visit the wonderful Appleby Blue Almshouse yesterday evening to present the winning prize in this year’s Housing Design Awards.
This government is as ambitious about quality and design as it is about boosting housing supply.

Appleby Blue is featured as a case study in the APPG Inquiry report as an example of a housing provider demonstrating a willingness and appetite to create a new generation of sheltered housing that provides aspirational housing options for people in later life.

This latest @HomesEngland report supports findings from Bayes (2023), The Smiths Institute (2022), and Housing Lin (2021), all of which highlight #almshouses as providing not just housing but a supportive community of good neighbours.
We’ve published a new research paper on the environmental impact of new housing development, part of a wider research programme on the measurement of social value.

Following @AngelaRayner's announcement addressing the #affordablehousing housing crisis, we hope the planning review of small-scale development opportunities enables #almshouse charities to provide additional much-needed homes and communities that will be available in perpetuity.
