Following a period marked by unprecedented pressures—from economic uncertainty and rising demand to evolving policy landscapes—the housing sector stands at a pivotal crossroads. For housing associations, registered providers, local authorities, and tenants alike, the need for collaboration, innovation, and bold leadership has never been greater.

As the UK looks toward the future with a potential shift in government, Labour’s pledge to deliver 1.5 million new homes brings housing to the forefront of national priorities. This ambitious goal includes a renewed commitment to expanding social housing, addressing affordability, and tackling systemic inequalities within the housing system. Planned reforms to the National Planning Policy Framework and increased powers for local authorities are poised to transform the way homes are planned, delivered, and sustained.

The Future of Housing Conference 2025, hosted by the Institute of Government & Public Policy, will bring together sector leaders, policymakers, and practitioners to explore how the housing sector can drive forward meaningful, lasting change. The agenda will delve into the most pressing issues facing the sector today—including sustainable development, tenant empowerment, workforce challenges, planning reform, and inclusive community growth.

This event offers a unique platform to learn, connect, and share practical insights on how we can collectively build a housing system that is fairer, greener, and fit for the future.

The Institute of Government & Public Policy is dedicated to fostering a legacy of impactful conferences and events. The Future of Housing Conference 2025 will cover key themes of sustainability, tenant engagement, innovation, and resilience in the housing sector.
