Barry Malki, Rural Housing Enabler

I joined CCB in 2024 as a Rural Housing Enabler. I have worked with different organisations and agencies across the country and I am a passionate advocate of shared learning and supporting networks.

I am keen over the next six months to engage with many different organisations and stakeholders across the county, to help them to understand their role in the development of new Housing supply in areas that may otherwise be overlooked by developers.
