SFHA and HouseMark joined forces two years ago to produce the new, improved, interactive rent setting tool for members. The tool calculates five affordability measures for a proposed rent. It also allows users to see how the rent and affordability measures compare to other local social landlords. It has proven incredibly popular with members, having been used by over 80% of our membership so far.
