We were pleased to contribute to the joint inquiry on rethinking commercial to residential conversions @HomelessAPPG @HousingAPPG

It's important to establish minimum standards and for local authorities to be able to require #AffordableHousing for these conversions to work

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

Our Older Person’s Housing Group has written to @HomesEngland as we were disappointed to see that there's no specific focus on homes for older people in their new strategic plan.

We urgently need a plan for housing for an ageing population – focusing on new build & #Regeneration

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

We welcome the new Older People’s Housing Taskforce and we look forward to working with @luhc & @DHSCgovuk

The group will focus on ensuring the govt is offering a range of housing options for older people.

"The historic and ongoing failure to build enough social rented homes has seen growing numbers of families trapped in overcrowded, unsuitable, insecure or unaffordable properties." - @mtpennycook

We need a national plan to build more #SocialHousing

"We're letting down millions of children"

Kate Henderson, National Housing Federation Chief Exec, says there's a 'chronic shortage of affordable homes' and a long term strategy of 90,000 new social rented homes are needed each year for the next decade.

Housing isn’t a market, it’s a fundamental human right.

Really good to talk to members from @natfednews this week about @UKLabour’s plans to build more affordable homes and return social housing to the second largest form of tenure 🏡

[Ed Barber @ebNHF]

Enjoyable session this afternoon chatting with members about the future of social housing rent policy #NHFFinance

@deamcg @natfednews Where is this Dean? Looks magical

[Ed Barber @ebNHF]

Serious need for greater flexibility in Homes England funding, especially for regeneration @KateNHF #NHFFinance

#nhffinance in a session on what’s next for sustainable and affordable housing @FfionaHesketh from Dept for energy, security & net zero says govt is looking to have the cheapest energy in Europe from 2035

[Ed Barber @ebNHF]

We go again here in Liverpool #NHFFinance

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

There are a number of barriers to retrofitting #HeritageHomes. It is clear that the government must work to ensure that residents in heritage areas can live comfortably and safely in homes. Homes that are both historically significant and energy efficient. https://t.co/Bhjrk9PAQ2

Lovely to meet up in person with our @natfednews Older Persons Housing Group. @KateNHF @HousingLIN @donnakjigsaw @JuliaAs01965495 and our Chair @yvonnecastle setting the scene for planning next year's work plan. Bonus tour of @Central_Cecil Award winning Grace House

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

By 2035, 29% of the population will be over 60. We're asking gov for a national strategy for older people's housing. The Older Person Housing Group, chaired by @yvonnecastle is working hard to keep building new homes for older people high on the agenda. https://t.co/xjATc9WuEk

[@beckyslack @beckyslacknhf]

@yvonnecastle, Chair of @natfednews Older Person's Housing Group has written a blog 👇highlighting the barriers to developing older person's housing together with a link to a resource to share with key stakeholders: https://t.co/vgj22rFEtj

Fascinating and heartening evening at @ConwayHall, weaving together a history of radical thought on land, place and social justice with writing and song. @theTCPA

[Ed Barber @ebNHF]

There are worse rooms to chair a sector rents discussion in @natfedevents

[National Housing Federation @natfednews]

Housing associations need to be able to maintain homes and provide vital services to residents in the years ahead. They are also concerned about the impact rising living costs are having on social housing residents. In this context they are thinking very carefully about rents.

[NHF Events @natfedevents]

Why should you attend this year's #NationlHousingSummit? From Reni Eddo-Lodge @renireni to learning more about the sector's role in tackling the climate emergency and hearing from senior political leaders reflections after the announcement of the new Conservative party leader...

[Ed Barber @ebNHF]

It's the smarmy hand on hip for me

[The New Statesman @NewStatesman]

EXCLUSIVE : A video shared with the New Statesman showed Sunak boasting to Conservative Party members that he was prepared to take public money out of “deprived urban areas” to help wealthy towns.
