The NHC launches new Housing Partnerships Northern Conference: Driving Growth, Transforming Places
We’re launching a new annual Housing Partnerships Northern Conference, with the first event, Driving Growth, Transforming Places, set to take place on 2nd July at the Marriott Hotel in Leeds. It will bring together housing partnerships from across the North, Mayoral Combined Authorities and other key stakeholders. The event will explore how the sector can transform communities and deliver lasting impact through increased collaboration.
Across the North, housing partnerships are emerging as one of devolution’s biggest success stories. By bringing together local authorities, housing providers, and other stakeholders, these partnerships are increasing collaboration with combined authorities and other sectors such as education and health.
The conference will:
- Share learning and best practices across regions
- Explore opportunities to strengthen our collective voice
- Look at how housing partnerships can support devolution and regional priorities, including aligning with mayoral priorities
This event is for housing partnership members, combined authority colleagues, and other regional stakeholders. A programme will be announced in due course, but tickets are available through MyNHC now.
What are housing partnerships?
Housing partnerships bring together the social housing sector – including housing associations and local authorities – to work in partnership with mayoral combined authorities, Homes England and other stakeholders to deliver growth, better places, and new homes. They enable social housing providers to collaborate with other sectors, such as health and education, to meet local priorities.
Why does devolution matter for housing?
Devolution gives regions the power to shape their own priorities, allocate resources effectively, and respond to local needs. For housing, this means more than just building homes; it is about driving growth, transforming places, and unlocking the North’s full potential.
