FREEING UP FAMILY HOMES
Two new extra care housing schemes for over 55s in Larkfi eld and Tonbridge have freed up 90 homes and 162 bedrooms in the Tonbridge and Malling vicinity. Amidst an affordable housing crisis, Rapport Housing & Care’s two new extra care housing schemes, comprising 133 one and two-bedroom apartments, have had a substantial positive impact on the affordable housing levels in the Tonbridge and Malling vicinity, freeing up 90 homes since summer 2018. With a number of over 55s wanting to move vacating their homes in favour of independent living with support, the market has gained 27 family homes in Tonbridge and 63 in Larkfi eld.
As the number of people waiting for
affordable rented housing in Kent rises, the release of these homes, which range from apartments to four-bedroom homes, has been immensely advantageous for the housing levels in Tonbridge and Malling. Denise Brend, Head of Housing at Rapport Housing & Care, commented: “The endless benefi ts for those living in these schemes, combined with the impact on the housing market, means they have both been a real success story.” Rapport Housing & Care has further
plans to deliver an additional 102 extra care apartments in Kemsing and Wateringbury by 2020, which will be a much-needed provision for over 55s within rural areas, as well as releasing more affordable family homes, which those areas are in desperate need of. • Visit
