Being consulted and having the power to change things are very different experiences. In this Housing Sector Podcast, Ben is joined by Suz Muna, Secretary of the Social Housing Action Campaign, for a frank discussion about who actually speaks for residents.

We explore the campaign for a National Housing Union, how trade unions could help residents build collective power, and why housing problems also affect people’s working lives.

The conversation covers GreenSquareAccord’s regulatory downgrade, property sales, concerns about residents’ personal data, and the gap between corporate promises and people’s experiences at home. We also discuss why evidence matters when bringing residents’ stories into the public eye.
