The housing sector faces questions that can at times seem too big to answer. How can we build enough homes to meet demand? How can we free up enough land to build them on? How do we ensure equitable access to housing?
In this episode, Geeta Nanda, CEO at Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing, shares her thoughts on the answers to these challenging questions. MTVH is a large housing association with its portfolio spreading across London, the South East, East Midlands and East of England. With a variety of stock including shared ownership, key worker housing and homes for migrants through the Migration Foundation.
Geeta has spent her 30-year housing career in a wide range of roles, from several years at a local authority to moving through various housing association roles before reaching her CEO position with MTVH. We discover what changes in the sector Geeta has noticed in the last 30 years. She speaks on how the sector has become more complicated leading to wide-reaching changes.
