I’m proud of our industry for helping to house the homeless

These statistics are pretty bleak, but if there is one positive to be found here, it is the way the homebuilding industry is trying its best to address the problem.

There are many developers working on projects to house the vulnerable and the homeless, and organisations such as Commonweal Housing run competitions to help discover new ways of tackling the problem.

I’m proud to be part of an industry which takes its role in society seriously and I’d like to thank everyone who is working to address the growing problem of homelessness. It can seem that, as individuals, we can only make small contributions. But when added up, together we can make real difference. And when businesses join in too, then we have a very real chance of reversing the trend of increasing homelessness.
