IMPACT
Investing in Sustainable & Affordable housing contributes towards 8 of the Sustainable Development Goals:
Affordable housing reduces homelessness, a stark form of poverty.
By providing people a chance to live in safe, closed homes, affordable and sustainable housing helps reduce the risk of diseases and improve wellbeing.
Sustainable housing maximises the use of natural light and air to reduce dependency on external heating and cooling. This helps relieve pressure on increasingly stressed energy supplies.
Affordable sustainable housing requires investments in new building equipment and technologies that promote longevity and resilience to climate change.
Safe, reliable and affordable housing provides dignity to residents and helps address inequalities exacerbated by lack of adequate shelter.
Sustainable, affordable housing can foster a sense of community and reduce cities’ usage of fossil fuels and water.
Reducing raw materials and promoting shared resources helps make residents responsible consumers.
Sustainable housing helps reduce carbon emissions by promoting use of natural materials, encouraging recycling, and bringing together the neighbourhood to focus on local, community based living.
