Details

As part of Homes England’s mission to drive regeneration and housing delivery, the Agency has been undertaking a comprehensive programme of research aimed at strengthening the approach to economic appraisal and the measurement of social value. This has been carried out in close collaboration with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), with the research aligned to the department’s appraisal guide and the HM Treasury Green Book.

The 6th paper to be published as part of this research programme focuses on the measurement of the wellbeing impacts associated with people moving from temporary accommodation to social housing.

By applying the HM Treasury Wellbeing Guidance for Appraisal, appraisers can consider new monetised estimates of wellbeing improvements to present a broader view of the benefits being delivered by social housing schemes.
