Resonance - Twenty Years Of Impact - Report - Page 96
6 THE NEXT 20 YEARS
CONTINUING
THE JOURNEY
Our main purpose at Resonance is to transform
lives through investment. Investment into
mission-driven social enterprises delivers
significant social impact, and our experience
since the launch of our first impact property fund
in 2013 has been that this model is a powerful
mechanism that delivers impact on a big scale.
Resonance, in partnership with a number of
homelessness charity partners, has acquired
homes for people who are either homeless or at
risk of homelessness and it is well proven that a
safe, secure, affordable home is a vital component
in bringing stability to a person’s life. It is the
stepping stone – a solid base from which they
have the space and security to help work on other
areas of their lives that may have made them
vulnerable to homelessness in the first place.

Through our ‘Impact Labs’, we develop, innovate
and provide other forms of tailored investment,
funding and support to social enterprises. We help
shape the products and services of tomorrow that
help social enterprises grow their impact, through
funding and specialist advice. The enterprises
are then better positioned to provide the support
needed to their communities and individuals,
in order for them to rebuild and move-on with
their lives.

IMPACT PROPERTY
FUNDS
Whilst extremely important, providing a much
needed roof over someone’s head is not the
end of the story. There are many reasons that
people become vulnerable to homelessness
and it is surprising how easily it can happen:
from unemployment, inadequate skills, training
or education to mental health issues, a lack of
affordable child care or surviving domestic abuse,
to name but a few.
Resonance is an impact property fund manager.
What makes us stand out from those that simply
acquire and manage properties however, is that
we go further. We are proud to work with our
carefully selected housing partners that support
tenants with wrap-around services and care, from
helping them with education and employment
opportunities through to supporting them
to overcome any addiction or mental health
challenges they may have. They do this while
tenants have one less thing to worry about
– a good quality, safe, affordable home.
