Shelter People and Homes Conference 2017

6th July 2017

Book your place now for Wales’ leading people and homes conference.

It’s all change in Welsh housing… the Welsh Government’s efforts to improve people’s lives through private landlord licensing and homelessness legislation are starting to pay off. At the same time, new financial challenges and ambitious house building targets are sharpening everyone’s focus.

This conference takes stock of how far we have come, and looks ahead to the challenges and opportunities of the future.

We’ll be launching our Living Home Standard survey which will reveal, for the first time, what people in different tenures and parts of Wales think about the quality of their homes.

We’ll be debating the potential for taxation to relieve pressures in the housing market, stimulate regeneration and make housing more affordable for everyone.

We’ll be learning about new and innovative ways of engaging with people who are at risk of homelessness.

  • Carl Sergeant AM, Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children
