Who We Help

Social Value for Housing Associations

Beyond bricks and mortar: prove your community impact.

Housing associations and social landlords deliver far more than homes. Employment support, tenancy sustainment, wellbeing programmes, and community investment create significant social value. The Social Value Engine gives you the accredited SROI framework to evidence it for regulators, funders, boards, and the communities you serve.

The challenge

What organisations in your sector face

Evidencing the value of resident services

Tenant and community programmes are often seen as a cost rather than an investment. Without credible SROI evidence, it's difficult to justify budgets or demonstrate their full value to boards and the Regulator.

Meeting Regulator expectations

The Regulator of Social Housing's consumer standards expect housing providers to demonstrate positive outcomes for residents. Building a consistent measurement approach across the organisation is complex.

Reporting across frameworks

ESG, UN SDGs, housing association-specific KPIs, and local authority partnership requirements all create reporting burden. Pulling it together consistently is a significant challenge.
