Inclusive Growth Framework Fundamentals
Affordable and safe places
Summary
Affordable and safe places is about everyone having decent homes that they can afford, neighbourhoods where they feel secure, and feel a sense of belonging in the place that they live.
Considerations
We recognize that different groups of people have different experiences. For instance, thinking about the impact on people with low incomes, disabled people, older people, and those with additional needs. We need to ensure that the design of parks, public areas, or neighbourhoods are inclusive and accessible, so that everyone can thrive.
Outcome
Designing out homelessness in the West Midlands through prevention by design: ensuring a supply of affordable homes, tackling welfare related poverty, good employment, information, integrated prevention, advice and guidance.
