Today's housing; tomorrow's challenges

About the event

Since the coalition government came to power in May 2010 it has taken a big bang approach to reform announcing significant changes to the planning system, welfare, investment and social tenure. Their aim is to meet people's housing aspirations.

The government has its work cut out to achieve this against a background of the lowest levels of house building for decades, households across all tenures reporting that they are struggling to afford their housing costs and the average age of first time buyers rising. Our population is growing and ageing, millions of people are waiting for social housing, homelessness is rising and vulnerable people face cuts in support.

With such challenges and a radical shake up underway key decisions are being made across the housing sector. This event will bring together key experts involved with influencing and delivering those decisions to examine how they will impact on the future challenges of the sector. The day will be looking at:

• Economic context, austerity and growth

• Reshaping supported housing and the impact of an ageing population

• Welfare reform

• Future of renting

• Council housing finance

• Financing and financing costs for housing
