2) Supply/investment 

How will new announcements work for housing - whether social or market? What opportunities and challenges exist?

Preparing for 2013 changes - what more is needed to help housing providers, tenants and their partners to be ready? What cultural and practical changes are needed? What will the focus on employment really mean? How well do we understand all the changes in the round?
