Witnesses will be questioned on topics relating to the housing association’s financial resilience and how housing associations prioritise refurbishment, remediation and new development work when budgets are tight.
The session is also likely to explore how social and affordable housing is financed through planning obligations and by cross-subsidy from the sale of private and shared-ownership homes. As part of this, MPs will also examine how well the shared-ownership housing model serves both housing associations and residents.
