2019 Programme
New features for 2019 include one stream focusing on impact investment in the public sector and a second stream on safety and quality, while still continuing to deliver an environment for informed debate and discussion of the latest best practice and thinking around the strategic issues.
Impact investment
Impact investment is a multi-trillion pound global market. With an increasing number of entrants attracted to the ‘social value’ of social and affordable housing, this stream will look at the opportunities and risks in this market, and what it might mean for UK housing and future funding sources and partners. Social impact investors focus not only on affordable residential and commercial space but supporting infrastructure as well. Investment projects include urban renewal and regeneration, clean energy, infrastructure, housing and SME finance. The purpose of such an investment is to create a social positive impact on communities and environment.
Prospective topics include:
- Telling the UK social housing story on a global platform
- Who are the ‘impact investors’
- The platforms: retail charity bonds, social bonds, impact investment equity/lease funds, ethical banks, homelessness funds, UK government and more.
- Knowing the pitfalls: lessons from the specialist supported housing sector
Safety and Quality
Following the recent fire related tragedies we will look at the current legislation, innovations in construction and technology to promote safety and quality of living.
- What are the recent compliance and regulations around fire?
- What are the local government, housebuilders and housing associations doing to eliminate future fire hazards and mitigate the risks.
- How can we raise safety awareness among residents?
- What are the best practices in resident safety?
These are just some of the questions to address at the stream.
