About this listen
In this episode of The Truth About Public Sector, Matt sits down with Andrew, Chief Executive of HACT, the charity at the heart of social housing innovation for over 60 years. Together, they explore how housing can act as the backbone of cross‑sector collaboration, from health and financial inclusion to data standards and community investment.
The conversation digs into the societal problems no single organisation can fix alone, poor health outcomes, inequality, carbon reduction, and the widening trust gap between institutions and communities. Andrew shares how HACT’s work on social value, data excellence, health‑and‑housing integration, and retrofit innovation is helping housing providers partner more effectively with councils, the NHS, and voluntary sector organisations to create real, measurable impact.
This is a candid, practical, and future‑focused discussion about what it will take to build systems that genuinely work for people, not just organisations.
