  1. Of course they do. High quality, affordable and reliable housing, in an active and engaged community, are going to improve general health and life expectancy for anyone.

    Here’s a quote from the article explaining what Almshouses are.

    >Almshouses are a charitable form of self-sufficient, low-cost community
    housing held in trust for local people in housing need. They are managed
    and run by almshouse charities made up of local volunteers.
    >
    >Residents pay rent, usually called a maintenance contribution, which is often less
    than the average rent in local properties rented from a council, housing
    association or private landlord.
