Why Ethical Investment in Housing Is Essential

The housing crisis in England continues to deepen.

Recent figures show:

• 164,040 children are currently homeless with their families in temporary accommodation
• 126,040 households are without a permanent home

Both numbers are at record highs.

Temporary accommodation may offer short-term relief, but it is costly, unstable and unsuitable for long-term living — especially for children who need security and consistency.

This is a systemic challenge that requires long-term solutions.

The Role of Ethical Investment

Public funding alone cannot meet the scale of demand. Sustainable, values-led investment is essential in delivering permanent housing that provides stability, dignity and measurable social impact.

When capital is used intentionally, it does more than generate return — it creates homes where lives can be rebuilt.

Our Approach

At Green Pastures, we work with investors who want their money to achieve both financial return and meaningful social good.

Through partnership with frontline organisations, we provide housing alongside tailored support — ensuring individuals are not just accommodated, but helped towards lasting change.

Ethical investment in housing isn’t just beneficial. It’s necessary.

Because secure homes build stable futures.
