4 key action groups that can help ease pressure on housing

Nationwide Building Society believe that a mutual approach is needed to solve problems in the housing system after the pandemic exacerbated longstanding issues around the affordability, accessibility and sustainability of homes.

A new report, The future of home: the mutual approach, sets out four action groups that will help find ways of building more homes, delivering more of the right types of homes and encouraging more green homes, ensuring everyone can have a place more than fit to call home, whether owned or rented.

Nationwide takes a significant step forward as it partners with in excess of 25 organisations involved in the report to form dedicated action groups that will set out to tackle the housing crisis across four core themes – New Homes, Green Homes, Rental and Delivery of Homes, with national efforts to meet housing targets continuing to fall short due to a range of factors, such as a shortage of skills and supply.

The report findings demonstrate the need for a joint approach that doesn’t just rely on government for the answer.
