A new model for rented housing
people can afford

Minerva Smart Places unlocks long-term private investment to deliver professionally managed rented homes at Living Rents, creating places where people can afford to stay and communities can grow.

Britain needs more genuinely affordable homes, particularly in the places where new jobs and economic growth are being created. Public funding alone cannot meet that challenge.

Minerva Smart Places has developed a new delivery model that brings together institutional investment, long-term stewardship and public sector partnership to deliver high-quality, affordable homes without relying on on-going taxpayer subsidy.

By unlocking patient private capital, we can help to create the homes, communities and happy healthy workforce on which Britain's future growth depends.
