Building 90,000 #SocialHomes provides both immediate and long-term value for money for the government, the economy and the taxpayer 🏠
Over 30 years, these new homes will generate more than £30bn for the economy, including £12bn for the taxpayer.

Thanks to our partnerships with @WeAreVIVIDhomes and @hantsconnect we’ve been able to work with more charities within #Hampshire. A mother using Y Services shared their gratitude:“Thank you I was really struggling this month we have nearly nothing in.” @ysfyp #connect4communities

As the @natfednews says, there’s certainly more to be done and if we’re to deliver #retrofit at the scale needed to help our customers and meet #netzero, it’s time for a policy step change from the current piecemeal approach to a more strategic one. #nationalretrofitplan

Too many people remain in #FuelPoverty
Making #SocialHousing energy efficient is key to ensuring households can afford to heat their homes
Work is underway & current funding is welcome but much more is needed to retrofit all homes to meet #NetZero

A pretty critical part of providing social housing for British workers or anyone else is to build some social housing. Something the government has roundly, deliberately and ideologically tried not to do for the last 14 years theguardian.com/politics/202…

I was honoured to sign the Military Covenant on behalf of @PlymCommHomes alongside former-forces colleagues from the Navy, Army and Airforce.
Their skills, expertise, work ethic and attitude can add huge value to organisations like PCH.

Very privileged to be the countersignatory along with the CEO Jonathan Cowie of @PlymCommHomes who have signed the AFC committing to fair treatment of the Armed Forces community through flexible working and employment.
