Great to see some coverage of @mtpennycook's keynote speech in @insidehousing. insidehousing.co.uk/news/10-year-p…

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us at the Housing Mission Summit and celebrated the launch of our new Fabian Housing Centre yesterday at the @RICSnews.

“We do have a moral imperative to build more homes particularly affordable and social homes” @Andrew_Lewin_ speaking at our 'Great Places to Live' session.

“Our Warm Homes Plan is based on the very simple idea that everyone deserves the security of a home they can afford to heat.” @Miatsf stresses how vital it is for people to have homes that are both affordable and decent to live in.

“After years spent tucked away as a second tier issue under the Tories, this Labour government has returned housing to its rightful place at the top of the political agenda.” @mtpennycook underscores the importance of Labour’s bold mission to build 1.5m homes.

"The rural housing crisis isn't new, it's decades in the making" @EnglishRuralCEO speaking at our Fields of Opportunity session.

“We need to have a honest conversation about housing support” @FloEshalomi calls for long-term solutions to tackle homelessness

“Housing is the biggest crisis we face in this country at the moment” @Kwajotweneboa stresses the importance of social housing in ending homelessness in the UK.

“Addressing the skills shortage is the biggest issue for house building.” CEO of @RICS Justin Young highlights in his keynote that solving the housing crisis hinges on tackling the skills shortage

Great to join the superb @FloEshalomi and Jasmine Basran at @thefabians Housing Mission Summit on rethinking how we prevent and respond to homelessness. A preventative approach with the voices of lived experience, a joined up approach with Housing First is the way forward.

Good to hear @mtpennycook set out the government’s commitment to fixing our broken housing system by: 🏡overhauling the faltering planning system 🏡 delivering the biggest boost in investment in social and affordable housing, and 🏡transformational change in safety and quality

Good to speak about the importance of good design and placemaking at the @thefabians Housing Mission Summit this afternoon. Transport connectivity is vital to ensuring that we are building good places to live.

"When it comes to national renewal, there are few tasks more urgent and more necessary than tackling England’s housing crisis." Great to hear from @mtpennycook at @thefabians Housing Summit.
