Knowsley Housing Trust shines in landmark housing study

The views of KHT, as one of Britain’s largest housing associations, have been voiced in a landmark international study into affordable housing.

Chief executive Bob Taylor has been hand-picked by authors at The Affordable Housing Institute (AHI) to add his weight to their study – Mission Entrepreneurial Entities: Essential Actors in Affordable Housing.

A year in the making, the study outlines how key players in the affordable housing sector, like KHT, use entrepreneurial skills to innovate new solutions and find more effective ways to use existing resources.

“It is a huge accolade for KHT to be recognised for our forward-thinking approach and highlighted in such a positive light – as a leader in affordable housing delivery,” said Bob Taylor.

KHT was one of 23 organisations selected by authors from across the US and UK.

Bob Taylor added: “The study outlines how using entrepreneurial skills aren’t just for the money-makers but are essential for mission-focused organisations like housing trusts.

“By adapting key skills from the business world we can find more inventive ways of using our resources to help provide and maintain affordable housing – and bring about positive social change.”
