Design Week: Our enterprise week project, originally uploaded by thinkpublic.

As the above article notes, do-gooders are finally becoming more aware of the fundamental value of design in their work. For Design Week, Think Public offered to undertake a pro bono design project based on proposals from housing association residents.

Also worth checking out: ongoing work on the potential role of design in improving healthcare.

There’s never been a better time to buy a home than right now – real estate prices are at an all-time low and the government has sweetened the deal with new incentives for first-time homebuyers. Before you start going to open houses and planning interior decor, you're going to have to take the first step: getting pre-approved for a mortgage. Mortgage pre-approval has some benefits. First, the pre-approval process may uncover errors on your credit report that you hadn’t noticed before, errors that may be hindering your ability to qualify for credit. Also, mortgage pre-approval can show how much house you can afford, so you don't set yourself up for disappointment over a house you can't afford.

Housing associations are of big help with those homeless people. And it's good that they have come up with this great idea.
