What’s changing in UK Housing policy? WEBINAR

Across the UK, housing remains one of the most pressing social challenges. Millions of people live in homes that fall short of basic standards – whether due to poor conditions, affordability issues, or limited availability. The impact of inadequate housing reaches far beyond bricks and mortar, affecting health, employment, education, and overall wellbeing.

Recent policy proposals aim to address these challenges through reforms to housing standards, leasehold arrangements, and the Right to Buy scheme. These measures reflect a growing recognition of the need for long-term solutions to improve housing quality and access, particularly for those on low incomes or in vulnerable situations.

This month’s Housing Spotlight webinar offers a clear and accessible overview of the current landscape, drawing on insights from our work at Society Matters CIC and Citizens Advice Gateshead. It’s designed to help professionals and organisations understand the direction of travel in housing policy—and what it could mean for the communities they support.
