This time next week we'll be discussing all the Private Rented Sector with a great line up of speakers. As well as making sense of the Renter's Reform Bill, we'll hear about the work organisations are doing now to drive up standards in the PRS, to prevent homelessness and more.
“There needs to be a debate to define what being vulnerable means in social housing"
As a long time critic of the V word, I'll be keeping my eye on this one 👀
Govt after govt, Labour & Tory, has tried to reform the planning system in Britain, with ideas like regional planning, Land Commissions, zoning, and more.
They always fail.
If you want to understand why, @watling_samuel's epic history is a *must read*.

@BenreeveLewis 👋 I'm working with HQN to organise an event (6th July, online) on the PRS in light of the forthcoming reform bill, do you or the team fancy joining us as a speaker?
Event: Housing strategy – big picture thinking – May 25. In our Strategic Network annual conference, we will look at the wider political and economic landscape and its implications for local authorities and housing associations https://t.co/gHPqvuKS4x #UKHousing
6 weeks to go until the HQN Strategic Network annual conference. Our focus this year is big picture thinking, aka how to plan ahead when the world is on fire!

Anyone else spending their Sunday thinking about the recent professionalism announcement? Here's my HQN blog from almost a year ago on the DLUHC review of qualifications - lots of the questions still need answering https://t.co/L0DGIS87D2
Today's job is predicting homelessness in Ashfield
@crisis_uk / @ISPHERE_HWU Homelessness Monitor tells me homeless trends impacted by housing market trends - but which trends are best to look at?
Thoughts on a postcard @BethWatts494 @resi_analyst @FayeGreaves101@BrianR0bson
@BethWatts494 @FayeGreaves101@BrianR0bson@crisis_uk @ISPHERE_HWU @resi_analyst No tool that I know of, but also how would we use it? We already know there is high demand, limited solutions, staff are maxed out and not enough money to do anything about any of it!
@BethWatts494 @crisis_uk @ISPHERE_HWU @resi_analyst @FayeGreaves101@BrianR0bson Thanks Beth! Yes it's great, the socio-economic summaries are so helpful. Ooh yes might just ask what his top 5 housing market data trends are 🤓
@FayeGreaves101@BrianR0bson@crisis_uk @ISPHERE_HWU @BethWatts494 @resi_analyst Thank you! I should have said, non-technical thoughts on a postcard please🤣I think it's a crazy thing to expect us to include in homeless reviews!
with thanks to the Homelessness Code of Guidance for this simple task - what a time to be writing a strategy to last FIVE years! Nothing lasts 5 minutes just now does it!
As someone who chose a career in housing thanks to a graduate scheme, I'm a huge advocate of the LGA's scheme.
I've used it twice @ADCAshfield now - read about our experience here https://t.co/8j3BAPJ8qw
Only 3 East Mids councils signed up last year, let's have a few more!
