Why are we the Solution
Key workers can’t afford to live near their jobs, and older adults are being forced out of the communities they helped build. We create affordable, accessible homes in the right places—so people can live where they belong.
01
From single-person households seeking connection to multigenerational families, our developments are built to support community, reduce isolation, and foster real social bonds—not just tick planning boxes.
02
With planning permissions at a historic low and a 53% shortfall in supply, the UK housing system needs more than a patch-up. We’re building future-ready, sustainable homes that scale—and that people actually want to live in.
03
With over 30% of UK households occupied by single individuals—nearly 4 million aged 70+—the demand for suitable housing is critical. Young professionals also face mounting challenges, with high property costs and stagnant wages making homeownership unattainable. Essential workers, vital during the pandemic, remain underpaid and financially vulnerable. The FairLiving Foundation tackles these issues head-on, delivering well-designed, affordable homes within integrated communities where residents can live, connect, and thrive.
The Need for FairLiving: Affordable, Community-Focused Homes
FairLiving goes beyond providing homes—we create vibrant neighbourhoods built around strong social infrastructure. Our developments bring together mixed housing solutions, combining single-resident homes with mainstream housing, and maintain affordability through strategic partnerships with volume housebuilders. We deliver high-quality modular construction, offering homes at 50% of market value, while fostering community-driven spaces that feature social hubs, cultural programming, and dedicated wellness areas.
Our Vision: Beyond Housing, Building Communities
Scalable and adaptable, the FairLiving model reshapes housing by integrating fairness, sustainability, and innovation—ensuring key workers, young professionals, and single individuals can access the homes and communities they deserve.

Our Model
Fairness
We put people over profit. FLF was founded “not for profit, but for fairness,” reinvesting every penny into making homes truly affordable. Housing is a right, not a privilege, and our model proves quality homes can be delivered at a fraction of market cost.
Dignity
Everyone deserves to live and age with dignity. Our homes support independence, social ties, and belonging, ensuring vital workers, young people, and retirees can stay in their communities instead of being priced out.
Community
We build multigenerational villages, not just housing. Our approach connects key workers, young locals, and older residents, fostering support and reviving community spirit where neighbours look out for one another.
Integrity
FLF is mission-driven—no shareholders, no big developer profits, just a commitment to what’s right. We operate transparently, proving that housing can be a gift to the community, not just a transaction.
Our Vision & Values
We exist to create homes that empower communities—homes that are not just buildings, but the foundation of thriving, inclusive neighbourhoods. Our focus is on ensuring affordability, sustainability, and accessibility for everyone, not just investors. We believe that safe, high-quality housing should be a right, not a privilege, and that strong communities begin with secure, well-designed places to live.
We envision a future where every person, regardless of background or income, has access to a home that supports their well-being, connects them with others, and offers the stability they need to build better lives. By prioritising people over profit, we’re building more than just homes—we’re shaping a better, fairer future for all.
The UK’s Housing Crisis: Rising Costs, Growing Waiting Lists, and Our Solution
The UK’s housing crisis is displacing families, key workers, and older adults. 1.3 million households are on social housing waiting lists, and 160,000 children are homeless due to soaring rents. Essential workers can’t afford homes near their jobs, and by 2035, 29% of the population will be over 60 with too few affordable housing options. Homeownership is increasingly out of reach. the FairLiving Foundation is tackling this crisis with sustainable, community-driven solutions.
