Housing partnerships are driving growth, regeneration, and new homes across the North. Together they own or manage over 900,000 homes and plan to deliver more than 40,000, working closely with Mayoral Combined Authorities, Homes England, and a wide range of partners. In this session, Housing Partnership Chairs will explore trailblazing projects, collaboration with other sectors, and opportunities to get involved in this expanding Northern success story.

This series of sessions taking place across the day will share emerging insights from the Renew inquiry, highlighting the case for housing‑led regeneration in the North and what can be achieved within current government policy. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the economic factors, funding models, and policy conditions needed to deliver regeneration at scale, alongside learning examples that show how place‑based renewal can be more responsive to community priorities.
The programme will also showcase adaptable models, from integrated settlement approaches to partnership structures that support effective multi‑agency working. Delegates will hear how partnerships across the North are deploying these practical tools to deliver faster, better outcomes for residents and support progress on devolution.
Housing Partnerships Northern Conference
2 July 2026, Marriott Hotel, Leeds
Booking available on our website: Housing Partnerships Northern Conference tickets
The first annual Housing Partnerships Northern Conference, hosted by the NHC, brings together housing partnerships, combined authorities, and local stakeholders from across the region. With housing partnerships emerging as one of devolution’s major success stories, this event will explore how the sector’s collective strengths can shape the future of housing across the North: driving growth, transforming places, and maximising the potential of collaborative working.
Across the day, attendees will share learning and best practice, strengthen a collective voice for the sector, support regional policy priorities, and align partnership action with Mayoral ambitions.
Northern Housing Summit 2026 – save the date
5th November 2026, Park Plaza, Leeds
The Northern Housing Summit returns this year as the essential gathering for leaders shaping the future of social housing across the North. Bringing together registered providers, local authorities, ALMOs and combined authorities, the Summit creates the space for strategic thinking, honest discussion, and collective problem‑solving.
Across a day of high‑level debate and insight, we’ll convene with national policymakers, influential thinkers and sector innovators to explore the big questions, with a focus on how we accelerate regeneration that genuinely transforms communities.
With a balance of collaboration and practical action, this year’s Summit will equip leaders with the clarity, connections and confidence needed to navigate the challenges ahead and shape a stronger housing future for the North. Secure your place and be part of the conversation that will define the year to come.
