Rent - although initially this may have to be subsidised it is anticipated that the 28 flats will produce rental income of £1680 per month. Subsidies may be provided where families cannot afford to pay full rent, such subsidies coming through the family sponsorship programmes run by Hope for Latvia and other support agencies .
Salaries - it is anticipated that two full time workers will be required. Salaries in Latvia are much lower than Western countries.
