Housing Finance Conference and Exhibition 2023 brochure
Housing Associations look to their finance functions to ensure they have an enduring means of funding their vital work. With increasing pressure to improve tenant wellbeing services, ensuring safe and fit for purpose homes, deliver decarbonisation as well as supply of more affordable homes, finance professionals in the social housing sector are facing perhaps their greatest challenge. We believe that out of this challenge, comes the opportunity for collaboration. By pooling our collective knowledge and forming strong professional networks, housing associations can create robust and flexible financial models to support their vital work over the coming years. Just some of the issues we’ll be focused on include: • Managing the credit and financial risks associated with rent caps. • Developing a robust business plan with risk built in. • Acting on the cost of living crisis to support residents and deliver services. • Addressing poor data performance and cybersecurity risks. • Exploring investor demands and opportunities for borrowers. Join us as we bring together over a thousand finance professionals from the housing sector for two days of tailored discussion, challenging debate and thought leadership that will equip you with the tools you need to build a sustainable future for your organisation.
