联想业绩大幅下滑！过于恋旧承受不住创新风险

?? Too many households in the UK are locked out of homeownership, contributing to widening wealth inequality ??? Rising house prices are only part of the problem. Outdated financial models, inflexible mortgage systems and limited policy support all contribute to the barriers people face. Our new report, commissioned by Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), explores how alternative homeownership models can offer more inclusive and affordable routes into ownership. ?? Key findings: ??Traditional homeownership is increasingly out of reach, particularly for younger, lower-income and racially minoritised households. ??Alternative models are growing, but remain niche due to challenges such as limited access to capital, complex legal structures and a lack of public funding or recognition. ??International examples show that these models can scale successfully with the right mix of financial, legal and policy support. ??Social investment has a key role in supporting innovation and early-stage delivery. However, investment must be matched with better policy, flexible funding frameworks and institutional engagement. We must reimagine how homeownership is supported in the UK and unlock the potential of alternative models that meet people where they are. ??
