Housing is one of the most significant issues facing young people. With social housing stock diminished, rents and prices on the rise, and the under-regulated Wild Wests of private renting and leasehold, the housing dreams of most young people are increasingly hard to reach.
This conference looked at how the Labour Government can solve this housing crisis for young people, three panel events about what the Government is, and should be doing.
