Violet was among the inspirations for the show, which came when Olu and Sasha were judging the Women in Housing Awards 2021 in which Violet went on to be named ‘woman of the year’.
“We were just blown away by the stories, the inspiring work that so many of the entrants had put into their applications,” says Sasha. “And nobody gets to see it apart from the judges. And we thought: ‘What a waste, we need to tell their stories to a wider audience.’ Because, there’s nothing more important in housing than housing people.”
Each month, Housing People will see the hosts talk in-depth to workers in different roles across housing, uncovering the remarkable lives and tales that make the sector tick.
Olu adds: “We felt it was an opportunity to actually get people working in sector to talk about themselves, and all the wonderful things they’re doing.”
