Are REITs a solution to funding social housing?

PRESS RELEASE: 1 JULY 2012

One of the primary causes of the shortage in social housing is the current funding model.

Given current market conditions, funding structures are uncertain, with fewer government grants available to fund house building.

This seminar will cover the key issues facing social and affordable housing, funding and the opportunities and potential solutions offered by Real Estate Investment Trusts in addressing the shortage of housing in this sector.

Speakers include

Phil Shanks Founding Director SAF Housing	Juliette Tarrant Director SAF Housing	Leigh Wormald Head of Real Estate Mazars

Who should attend?

Housing Associations, Local Authorities, Fund Managers and Administrators, Investors and Bankers; and anyone with an interest in the social and affordable housing sector.
