They discuss how this institutional model—common in the UK and US—offers tenants greater security through long-term leases and professional management, contrasting it with the traditional \"mom and dad\" investor market. The conversation also highlights NAB's ambitious commitment to provide $6 billion in financing for social and affordable housing by 2030, including innovative construction methods like modular housing and partnerships for \"impact housing\" that integrates diverse income groups within a single community.</p>","author_name":"Phil Dobbie"}
