Join us for a panel discussion and debate about solutions to the shortage of good-quality, genuinely affordable housing for our communities. This is part of a DCN research programme leading to the publication of our Affordable Housing Blueprint before the end of 2024. This programme brings together a range of organisations to propose policy reforms aimed at boosting social and affordable housing supply.
Our excellent panel of speakers will discuss how we can empower councils of all sizes to address the housing crisis. With the new Government’s strong emphasis on affordable housing, this is a timely discussion for all district councils and a chance for you to help shape our blueprint.
The event will take place at The Crown Hotel which is a very short walk from the main conference centre. You can get your tickets here.
Panellists:
- Cllr Hannah Dalton, DCN Health and Housing Spokesperson, DCN Independent Vice Chair and Leader, Epsom and Ewell Borough Council (Chair)
- Professor Janice Morphet, Visiting Professor, UCL Bartlett School of Planning
- Mari Roberts-Wood, Chief Executive, Reigate and Banstead Borough Council
- Janet Sharpe, Director of Housing, Association of Retained Council Housing (ARCH)
