Housing Strategy Conference 2018

Developed through engagement with local authority staff across the North of England, the Northern Housing Consortium is pleased to announce that Housing Strategy 2018 conference will take place on Thursday 15 November 2018 at Cloth Hall Court in Leeds.

Given the huge variation of work undertaken by housing teams in local authorities (LAs), and the increasing expansion of these responsibilities, this conference offers a suite of interactive workshops and practitioner-led plenaries sharing best practice on a wider range of strategic housing priorities in the sector.

• An update from Homes England regarding their work with LAs to build more homes
• Interactive panel discussion on selective licensing schemes in the North and beyond

• increasing the supply of executive and larger family homes
• self and custom build housing – one year on, how are the new duties working in practice?
• working with community-led housing organisations to bring empty homes into use
