The environment in which social housing organisations operate is constantly changing. This has certainly been the case in the last ten years as government has made significant change after significant change to Housing Law. The introduction of Homes England, Universal Credit, ‘Bedroom Tax’, Benefit Caps and changes to Right to Buy continue to change housing provision like never before. This interactive introduction to social housing is delivered through a one day programme that provides delegates with an overview and understanding of the social housing sector and the environment in which housing organisations operate. It will also consider the key challenges and new opportunities that social housing providers face as the sector continues to evolve.
