Military families: The importance of defence housing and support

Welcome back to Season 2 of ‘Defence Talks: Securing UK Advantage’.

In Episode 13, Viktorija Starych-Samuolienė, our Co-founder (Strategy), and Paul Mason, journalist, author and our Adjunct Fellow, are joined by Cat Calder, Housing Specialist at Army Families Federation, and Natalie Elphicke Ross OBE, Chair of the Defence Housing Strategy review team, and Director and Head of Housing at the Housing and Finance Institute.

The discussion offers a window into the quality of life experienced by service personnel and their families, with a focus on housing and infrastructure following the recent publication of the Defence Housing Strategy. We discuss the challenges facing military families, the contribution of safe and good housing to overall living standards in the British Armed Forces, and the impact of wider infrastructure in supporting military families both during and beyond service life.
