• The current cost of living crisis (especially fuel poverty) is quickly compounding the UK’s long-term structural housing crisis.
• With wages and pensions failing to keep up with rising prices, more families and older people are being priced out of the housing market each week.
• The National Housing Federation estimates that up to 2 million households could be on local authority housing waiting lists by the end of 2022.
• Benjamin Davis will explain why Octopus, as a B-Corp, and with its energy expertise, is well placed to tackle these dual challenges.
• Kevin Beirne will use his wealth of experience of the social housing sector to analyse the current affordable housing market.
• Edward Clough will then explain the nuances of our strategy and where Octopus will be spreading its tentacles.
