18 June: Temporary Accommodation Crisis in the North

About:

A lack of secure, affordable housing is leading to increasing levels of homelessness and a greater reliance on Temporary Accommodation across the North. In addition to the human impact of housing people in often inadequate accommodation, addressing this crisis places a huge financial burden on Local Authorities and takes capacity away from strategic housing and regeneration ambitions. Meeting demand through housing growth or the development of new Temporary Accommodation will take time before having a major impact and the housing sector is having to find different ways of providing support now.

Being held following the Government’s Spending Review, the Northern Housing Consortium, Campbell Tickell, and Devonshires are bringing together the housing sector and key stakeholders to discuss how to best address the Temporary Accommodation challenge across the northern regions.  Together, attendees will contribute to efforts to ensure any use of Temporary Accommodation is both suitable and cost effective, with clear routes to settled housing.
