The need for more affordable homes in the UK is acute, with estimates that 1.3 million households are on waiting lists for social housing. 

Longstanding mechanisms for paying for these homes are creaking.  While there is limited public money available, there is a growing emphasis on new models of private funding, especially attracting institutional investment.

In this episode Matt Lloyd talks to Anette Simpson at Legal & General Affordable Homes, Findlay MacAlpine of Preferred Homes Limited, and James Duncan at Winckworth Sherwood about how we get greater private funding into social housing.
