Are RSL's part of the solution to the housing crisis or part of the problem? | Episode #013

Are RSL's part of the solution to the housing crisis or part of the problem?

That's the question I wanted to discuss for this weeks episode of The Social Housing Podcast.

And the best person to help me answer that question:

Gerraint Oakley, Executive Director (Growth & Development) at Platform Housing.

During the conversation we discussed:

✅ How the commerciality element within the sector is about being better, more efficient and driving profit so we can build more properties and deliver more services to support people.

✅ How the large surpluses HA's sit on - still requires a different type of skill set to use the profits effectively.

✅ The issues surrounding planning reform; namely things like Greenbelt which Gerraint thinks needs to be reviewed.
