On 7th June 2012, SIAA and HACT jointly hosted a half-day roundtable on how to evidence the social value of housing associations, held in central London.

With the Public Services (Social Value) Act likely coming into effect in early 2013,  housing providers in the UK are under increasing pressure to more clearly articulate and evidence their social and economic value. Housing providers have also increasingly engaged in ‘non-core’ activity and community investment in recent years, and now need to measure and evaluate the impact of these ‘non-core’ activities – including their impact on core business.
