Building on Progress: Essays on the housing crisis and how to solve it

To mark the beginning of Labour Party Conference 2026, Labour Housing Group has brought together leading experts and practitioners to discuss the key challenges facing our housing sector, and how to address them. 

“There is no single answer to the housing crisis, but there is a common thread: Labour has begun the work of fixing the foundations of the housing crisis. The task now is to go further, faster, and turn that ambition into positive change for people across the country.”

Jack Shaw, Chair of the Labour Housing Group, and Rachel Blake, Member of Parliament for Cities of London and Westminster.
