Expenses
There has been much discussion recently in the housing world around CEOs’ salaries and expenses and calls for them to be open and transparent. CEOs’ salaries have been public for over 15 years. Despite this, the media constantly “distracts” from the real issues of poor and inadequate housing.
Metropolitan Housing Partnership is a unique network of locally focused member organisations working together to provide housing, regeneration, community, care and support services.
