Financial shocks, unmanageable debt and income vulnerability disproportionately affect women. Southern Housing Group have found that through services, coaching and support to build financial resilience, many women among their tenant base would be able to better protect against these challenges. These efforts are spearheaded in their Many Sisters programme.

Our Approach
- Management interviews
- Extensive desk research
