The largest UK-based REIT in three years just launched – Here's how it aims to provide a solid 7.5% yearly return and cut homelessness

They are also required to provide meaningful help to any person who is homeless or at risk of becoming homeless irrespective of any priority need status.

"Early eviction causes a massive amount of destruction to both the charity but more importantly, the individuals who are then often made homeless again," Beale said.
