In this episode, Liam talks to Polly Neate, Chief Executive of the campaigning charity Shelter.
Since the mid 1960s, Shelter has been at the centre of the debate about and provision of temporary accommodation and housing for low-income and otherwise vulnerable families. As well as providing practical assistance to families in need, the politically non-aligned charity also exerts considerable influence among politicians and policymakers.
In this wide-ranging interview, Polly Neate discusses the UK’s housing “affordability crisis”, the need for “much more social housing” and how “our housing emergency has become much worse during this pandemic”.
