LINks: Housing LIN present refreshed briefing on PRS
Housing LIN News
We lead this week's LINks with a new and updated PRS briefing from Housing LIN associate, Jenny Pannell.
Our third briefing, "Why older people need more market rent housing: new opportunities for older people, local authorities, developers, investors and providers" highlights the changes in market rent for older people following new developments in housing for older people.
If you find this briefing of interest, check out 2 earlier versions in this series and other resources we have published/collated on our dedicated PRS and housing for older people page here.
