As the Housing Festival team, we wish each of you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

It has been an exciting year for us, with highlights including the launch of the Social Rent Housing at Pace Playbook, which was a collaboration of more than 60 organisations setting out real and deliverable solutions to the Temporary Accommodation crisis, and the subsequent New Homes in New Ways exhibition which brings the Playbook to life. 

However, as 2024 draws to a close there is much work still to be done. The years ahead must bring a significant step change, and our provocation to all of us to recognise that we are collectively responsible for that change.

To that end, we are hosting the New Homes in New Ways Summit with the Building Centre on the 12th and 13th February to bring together local authorities, housing commissioners and the Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) housing supply ecosystem to drive collaborative action, and we invite you to join us.

Until the end of the month, a 20% early bird discount applies, and concessions are available. View the full programme or book your place here.

We are grateful for the inspiring people, organisations and projects that we have collaborated with or learnt from this year - there are certainly reasons for hope this Christmas!

And so the festival continues,
Jessie and Housing Festival team.
