U.K. National Housing Federation, a nonprofit that advocates for better neighborhood housing, is looking for new ideas for how low-cost public and private housing associations can better respond to community challenges.
The competition is backed with £15 million ($20 million) from Big Society Capital.
Other impact investors are supporting efforts to improve the U.K.’s low-income housing associations, where residents face higher-than-average rates of unemployment and physical and emotional problems.
Bridges Fund Management recently took a majority stake in facility-management company Just Ask.
