How serious is the crisis and how did we get into this mess? | Making sense of social housing Ep 1

The state of social housing in the UK has reached a crisis point in 2023. But how did we get here? In Liverpool, housing associations and those waiting to be housed are at the frontline of the crisis and have first-hand experience of the decline of social housing in their city and beyond.


Making sense of social housing is produced by Tortoise Media together with Lloyds Banking Group, who are the biggest supporters of social housing, supporting around £16 billion of funding to the sector since 2018.
