Social Housing – Achieving Sound Finance and Good Governance in Challenging Times

Our free webinar will examine the current extraordinary challenges facing the social housing sector: highest inflation rates for a generation, increasing interest rates, spiralling energy costs, recruitment shortages, fuel poverty, political uncertainty etc.

We will discuss the actions that organisations can take to ensure that they are more resilient and how boards can provide effective oversight and governance as they work to meet the challenges.

We will hear from sector experts and housing association leaders about the impact of these challenges and the measures being taken.

We will discuss:

• What are current risks and what might be coming down the line?
• How do we ensure that we manage these risks and embed effective control measures?
• What mitigating actions can we use and how do we prioritise these?
• What is the outlook for the lending market?
• Do providers need to consider structures to help mitigate some of the presenting risks
• What are the key messages from the Regulator of Social Housing?

2. Maintaining effectiveness governance
