About

With a weak economy and housing market, housebuilders are likely to prioritise profitability over ambitious building targets. Housing Associations are already operating under significant capacity strains, and the for-profit sector isn’t established enough to take the lead.

The hard reality is that delivering 1.5 million homes will require creative solutions and a willingness to tackle these existing hurdles.

During this session, we are delighted to be joined by Phil Jenkins, CEO at Centrus, who will talk members through:
• The current state of play for the Affordable Housing Sector: are we still presenting an attractive credit proposition to lenders/investos?
• What are the key risks concerning banks and institutional investors at the current time?
• Delivering 1.5 million new homes: how far can the current funding model stretch and is it fit for purpose?
• What policy levers could be pulled to support the sector’s growth?
• What possibilities exist for how we might finance social housing in the future?
