Housing to 2040: equalities position statement

Conclusion

Housing to 2040 aims to put equality considerations at its heart. Its core aim is to advance equality of opportunity and housing outcomes between those who share a protected characteristic and those who don’t. The evidence presented in this Position Statement has informed the development of the Housing to 2040 Vision, Principles and route map and will continue to support policy development as we progress the actions and commitments set out in the route map. Where there are gaps in the available evidence, we will take action to continue to improve our evidence base. The Position Statement and the ongoing gathering of relevant evidence will provide a framework that will support the development of specific Impact Assessments as required for Housing to 2040 policies taken forward in future.
