Building An Evidence Base To Better Understand The Impact Of Community Led Housing On Loneliness

Descriptions

In response to a cross government loneliness strategy MHCLG has committed to improve the evidence base for housing-based interventions for loneliness. This study would focus on co-housing and loneliness through four locally evaluated case studies with a literature review that looks at housing more broadly. The objective of this project is to understand the impact of innovative housing models in reducing loneliness. A secondary objective is to build support for this type of housing and encourage commissioners and Housing Associations to consider the social impact of these models when planning new housing.
