Sharing social value impact on Housing Day
The social value of Greater Manchester’s housing providers over the last financial year (April 2019 to March 2020) has been published to show the collective value of housing associations to local communities around Greater Manchester.
The impact graphic has been published to coincide with national #HousingDay (7 October). You can download it here.
Social value is commonly defined by the positive changes people experience in their lives due to the actions of an organisation or business.
We’re one of the members of the Greater Manchester Housing Providers partnership (https://gmhousing.co.uk).
We share the same social value goals and this shows the benefits to communities from what we do as individual providers and working in partnership.
Providers are currently working together to:
- Double the delivery of new homes in Greater Manchester
- Reduce the pressures on health and social care through modern homes for an ageing population
- Invest in more than 1,000 Greater Manchester apprentices
- Support the Greater Manchester economy through procurement processes
- Tackle homelessness through better temporary accommodation.
The Bolton at Home Group is tackling homelessness and promoting ‘Social Dialogue for Human Dignity’, supported by funding from Erasmus+.
