Delivering Social Housing through Public & Private Partnerships
UK Monthly Private & Public Recovery Sessions
Brought to you by Movers & Shakers, in association with Cratus
We have designed a series of ‘UK Monthly Private & Public Recovery Sessions’ - the last Thursday of each month. These fit with our 2021 Mission: To drive more and better Private and Public sector collaboration, and will be be delivered within our Movers & Shakers state-of-the-art interactive Community Platform (and App).
Each month, in association with Cratus, we will be delivering timely and topical sessions featuring Ministers, Shadow Ministers, Metro Mayors, the Combined Authorities, City Regions and individual Local Leaders; along with high-profile Private sector leaders.
Topic: Delivering Social Housing through Public & Private Partnerships
As we emerge from the pandemic there will be massive challenges for Local Authorities in meeting their social housing obligations; particularly bearing in mind their financial constraints. This session will explore these challenges, the demands on housing associations and how collaboration could potentially deliver better outcomes.
This webinar brings together Public sector leaders, Housing Associations and the Private sector element. We welcome Kate Davis, Chief Executive, Notting Hill Genesis, Clare Miller, Group Chief Executive, Clarion Housing Group and Alice Lester MBE, Operational Director Regeneration, Growth and Employment, London Borough of Brent to our virtual platform, for what is a timely an important conversation.
The event will be chaired by Nick Kilby, Chief Executive of Cratus.
