Social Heart, Commercial Head: Rethinking Affordable Housing
Nigel Sedman
Group Director of Homes, ForViva
“Social heart, commercial head.” This delicate balance drives everything we do at ForViva to finance and operate affordable housing communities. For us, it’s been an enormously successful approach to one of the most pressing needs of our time. There’s a massive waitlist for affordable housing across the U.K., and while a lot of people here are working, they’re often paid wages too low to rent conventional houses and apartments.
