The UK is in the grip of an affordable housing crisis. What are the policy changes and practical solutions needed to radically increase the amount of decent and affordable homes? How has the pandemic exacerbated housing challenges and how should the sector respond to protect those most vulnerable? How can we use the crisis as a catalyst for transformation and improvement?

 

This session will bring together international perspectives to offer their expertise, including the example of Vienna Community Housing who are world leaders in social housing policy.
