In this episode of the Housing Sector Podcast, we sit down with Suz Muna from SHAC (Social Housing Action Campaign) to explore critical issues impacting tenants and residents across the housing sector. We discuss the growing divide between smaller providers, who are more focused on maintaining the quality of their homes, and larger providers, who seem overly fixated on building new developments at the expense of maintaining existing properties.
We also tackle the troubling trend of empty, fit-for-purpose homes being left unused, the long lead times for planning, and the increasing un-affordability of so-called “affordable housing.” With social rents rising in line with inflation plus 1%, we question whether housing remains accessible for those who need it most.
Suz shares insights into building a united power-base for tenants and residents, addressing the imbalance of power that often leaves residents without effective support. Together, we emphasise the importance of continuing to unite and fight for a fairer housing system—because we’re all in this together.
