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

The Social Housing Podcast

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.
