The big challenge - Can we build a housing innovation lab?
For a sector valued at over £30bn a year, isn’t it strange that social housing has no discernible research and development function? With over 4m social and affordable homes under housing providers management, doesn't this create challenges when trying to solve systemic problems?
What if social housing providers were able to come together and build their own venture studio, (the first of its kind) housing innovation lab to rapidly design, test and build scalable solutions to the problems we all face?
We believe that there's a huge opportunity to build AI-driven ventures that better optimise housing allocation, improve tenant experience, and drive operational efficiency.
