About Empty Homes
Empty Homes is an independent charitable organisation campaigning for more empty homes to be brought into use for the benefit of those in housing need
Empty Homes was established in 1992 to try to ensure that empty homes in England are brought back into use for those in housing need. We have built our reputation not only as a campaigning charity, but also in developing practical ideas on how to bring empty homes back into use. These ideas have been adopted as national policy and also local practice. Our track record of campaigning has put the charity in a good position to influence decision makers and to do more to tackle the waste of empty homes in England.
Our focus is on ensuring empty homes are brought back into use for those priced out of decent housing across England or in housing need, for example due to disability or long-term health problems.
Our influence has been enhanced over two decades through building our reputation as the ‘go to’ place for media comment as well as through our thorough analysis of the causes of empty homes and what works in bringing them back into use.
