International Housing Policy Project
Shaping Futures Housing Choices is participating in an international housing policy project that aims to shape the nature and style of housing policy into the future. The project brings together highly regarded housing academics and practitioners with representatives from various levels of government and housing peak bodies from the UK, Canada and Australia. The project concentrates on the issues leading to the current dilemma of soaring house prices, low levels of available affordable housing, and the inability of current housing models to provide sustainable short and long term solutions for those most in need of housing. The project team recently held a housing symposium in Toronto, Canada outlining the key issues facing policy makers and focused on solutions that will drive sustained improvement for those struggling to find affordable housing. The symposium received national and international coverage with broad-ranging support for the immediate need to take action on housing policy.
