Savings are also made for the National Health Service by improving the housing conditions that lead to poor health and accidents.

Wider economic, social and housing objectives include:

Contributing to local economic growth
Increasing the understanding of older peoples housing
needs.
Improving the accessibility of housing.
Contributing to community care strategies
