One day: one new home
Housing experts agree that a shortage of new homes lies behind the housing crisis in the UK. So building new ones is a high priority for Futures. This was a record year for us on the homebuilding front and we built or acquired a new home every day – 263 in 254 working days. As well as providing more high quality new homes across the East Midlands, the money we raise from house sales helps fund services and improvements that benefit many more customers. This year, this meant one special day and one new home for Helen and Mark Love. They moved into their four-bedroomed shared ownership house in Badby near Daventry in January and describe it as ‘a fairy tale’.
