CHC commissioned Savills to assess the impact of housing associations in Wales across three themes: people, economy and public services.
The specific scenario this report models is the significant hypothetical impact of housing associations delivering 20,000 new homes over the next four year Senedd term.
The people and public services reports are informed by an underlying literature review and theory of change with the impact being modelled over two time periods - the four year construction phase and the 30 year operational period of the homes.
The economic model adopts established approaches developed by the Welsh Economic Research Unit (WERU) and used in previous impact reports (2015, 2018). Primary data from a survey of 20 Welsh Housing Associations (representing 67% of the sector) as well as CHC Global accounts data have been used to further inform analysis of spending patterns. Economic impacts, including FTE jobs and GVA have been estimated using standard ratios from key government data sets.
