As the UK looks towards economic recovery under a new Labour government, the role of housing providers is evolving beyond just delivering affordable homes. They are becoming key players in delivering employment and business support, helping to build stronger, more resilient communities. This webinar will dive into the findings of a new report by Dr Gareth Young (CaCHE), commissioned by Unity Homes and Enterprise and Communities that Work.
Our panel of expert speakers, including Cedric Boston, CEO of Unity Homes, and Lynsey Sweeney, Managing Director of Communities that Work, will discuss:
- The link between housing, employment, and community regeneration
- The evolving role of housing providers as key drivers of local economic opportunity
- Recommendations for national and local collaboration to ensure long-term, sustainable impact
