Shaping the future of housing associations: What’s inside

Regulation reshaping leadership

The biggest shift will be the integration of housing, health, and climate agendas. Housing associations will evolve from landlords to institutions driving community wellbeing, climate resilience, and social equity. This will demand new partnerships, funding models, and governance approaches, and a redefinition of value beyond bricks and mortar... For me it reinforces the sector ethos that behind every door is a home.
