Housing Associations
In a report 'Building Futures' published by the National Housing Federation it has described how last year (2011/12) Housing Associations throughout the country helped to improve the lives of over 8 million people with more than half a billion pounds of community investment.
The details are as follows:
- £80 million went to helping people into work
- £73 million went to help people with learning and skills
- £74 million to health and well being projects
- £16 million to help people beat fuel poverty
- £100 million towards building safer and stronger communities
- £75 million to help improve green spaces
- £6 million was invested in IT centres (this was over 5 years).
But they are not doing it alone - they are working with national and local government, charities and other organisations.
