Liverpool City Region Housing Initiative

Lloyds Banking Group

Working with Lloyds Banking Group, the non-profit Young Foundation, and partners across the city region, Metro Dynamics has been exploring innovative approaches to financing and accelerating social and affordable housing delivery. This included working with the Young Foundation developing a comprehensive evidence base highlighting the distinctive housing market challenges in the region: low land values, limited new affordable housing delivery, and poor housing outcomes as a result of an older and highly energy inefficient housing stock.

We went on to facilitate extensive engagement with the Combined Authority, Local Authorities, and Housing Associations in the region to scope issues and options for a new approach. We were able to identify and develop a pipeline of housing sites and schemes that have the potential to provide additional social value to residents, as well as open dialogue with Homes England about potential options including via the Strategic Place Partnership.
