We are hosting an invitation-only roundtable focusing on our work to reduce reoffending and address housing pressures. This roundtable explores how the PBH programme is equipping prisoners with skills and employment, as well as delivering affordable, sustainable homes to help tackle the housing crisis, and make significant savings.
PBH is an innovative programme which sees prisoners working with housebuilders and providers, the public and third sectors to build low carbon, sustainable homes for local communities and vulnerable people. In addition to delivering affordable homes the programme addresses other Government priorities including unlocking small and challenging sites, reducing reoffending, addressing skills and capacity gaps in construction supply chains and encouraging off-site construction.
