Housing associations face a growing range of cost pressures including higher expectations of stock decency and safety, decarbonisation and regulation. These directly impact on their ability to build new homes, manage existing homes for their customers and build sustainable communities.
Housing associations own and/or manage over 2.8 million homes for communities around the country. In 2022/23 they built more than 53,000 new social homes (1), almost a third of all new homes completed (2). Looking to the future, more will be expected.
Housing associations can only build on this scale by working closely with funders and investors, private sector housebuilders, regeneration developers and contractors. Our social housing team is closely linked to colleagues in KPMG with deep expertise in these sectors. We also work with health and social care providers and central, regional and local government bodies.
