Repurposing Empty Spaces: Research to Address the Housing Crisis
A new piece of research, conducted by The Empty Homes Network on behalf of Habitat for Humanity Great Britain, aims to explore and understand the current opportunities available in reutilising socially-owned vacant buildings and spaces, for use as accommodation for those at risk of homelessness across England, Wales and Scotland. It also aims to provide an understanding of opportunities to help address the current social housing supply and demand across England, Scotland and Wales. The research has been supported by the Empty Spaces to Homes Coalition, including: M&G plc , the Laudes Foundation, Kingfisher PLC, Blackstone and Lloyds Banking Group.
