Neil Armstrong, Chairman, Founder, and CEO of United Living, highlighted the opportunities for expansion and improvement in access to affordable housing and critical infrastructure. Armstrong believes that the partnership with Apollo, backed by their resources and experience in the infrastructure and social housing services markets, will help drive the realization of their vision to reduce inequalities and create sustainable cities and communities.
