NHC at Sunderland Expo – there’s an opportunity to transform older, colder homes in the North

NHC Chief Executive Tracy Harrison was part of the Housing Delivery Panel Discussion at Expo Sunderland’s Future City event.

She spoke about the opportunity offered by the Government’s landmark investment in social housing to support the building of more homes for people in the North. With devolution – and the growth of housing partnerships across the North – the social housing sector is working together better than ever before, and in a great position to deliver.

However, Tracy was keen stress that to truly transform the North’s older, colder homes, we need to explore not just how we build more homes, but how we make existing homes and communities better for the people who live in them.

The Future City events programme is an opportunity for business and Government to come together to discuss, explore and progress innovative ideas that create city success. Inspired by Sunderland’s regeneration, it looks how to boost social and economic growth and create sustainable cities.

We were pleased to be part of this fantastic event and an insightful panel discussion.
