How can councils become social housing entrepreneurs?

Back to Our Work

In partnership with Future of London, Sheridan Development Management and Bugler Group, this report explores how, against a backdrop of unprecedented pressures in contributing towards the 1.5 million homes target, entrepreneurial councils can scale up delivery – including through partnerships with the private sector and housing associations.
