Affordable homes, strong communities

Issue two

Open issue two

Welcome to the second issue of Open, brought to you by the Housing Corporation, the government agency that funds new affordable housing and regulates the work of housing associations in England.

In this issue, we focus on the latest green developments in housing.  We show how housing associations are upping environmental standards of both new homes and existing buildings, and how greening the spaces in between homes is helping to improve the quality of residents' lives.

You can read features from this issue online or download the full magazine in PDF format from the link on the right of this page.  There is also a directory of research and guidance which will help you find the expertise you're looking for on this subject.
