Summary

This is a summary of the final output from the evaluation of the Key Worker Living (KWL) programme commissioned by Communities and Local Government and is produced by GHK Consulting Ltd (GHK) and the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies (CURS) at the University of Birmingham. The work was undertaken between January 2005 and March 2006.

KWL is a Communities and Local Government-funded programme which was launched in March 2004 to address recruitment and retention problems for public sector Key Workers by providing housing solutions for these workers in areas of high cost housing.

The KWL programme offers workers, predominantly front line staff working in education, health or community safety:

  • An equity loan of up to £50,000 (or £100,000 in London for schoolteachers who meet particular eligibility criteria) to help them buy a home on the open market (Homebuy). 
  • Shared-ownership or reduced rental of new homes built by Registered Social
    Landlords (RSLs) (New Build).
