Affordable housing
Evidence-based insights to drive a housing strategy that makes a difference to your community.
Because resilient communities start with healthy housing.
How Housing Monitor helps
Data you can rely on
The robust evidence base you need to deliver best-in-class housing strategy.
Turn data into insight
Move beyond the sea of numbers to uncover meaningful stories.
Local, relevant data
See your area clearly with hyper-local, hyper granular data.
Resilient communities
The strategic insights you need to deliver healthy homes for your community.
End the housing data overwhelm
Fragmented or inconsistent data
There are plenty of numbers out there, but turning them into a clear, cohesive picture can be slow and disjointed. Policymakers don't need scattered stats, they need one cohesive source they can rely on.
From data to meaning
Raw numbers don’t drive change; insights do. To be truly influential, policymakers need housing intelligence that tells a clear story that people can rally behind.
Generic information that lacks local relevance
Councils need data sets that are specific to their local area and that tie together area-specific factors including economic drivers, demography and workforce. This local context is what separates mediocrity from excellence, and it’s what shows your local community you truly understand their specific needs.
Lack of strategic rigour and inability to measure success
Getting housing planning right is crucial, but without the right inputs, it's hard to make great decisions and measure success.
Decisions. Take. Forever.
When you don’t have the right tools in your kit, everything slows down. That means wasted effort, missed opportunities and loss of confidence from your stakeholders and community.
