1 CIH Allocations, Lettings and Homelessness Conference & Exhibition October 2015, Hinckley Island Hotel, Leicestershire ABOUT THE CONFERENCE Five months after the UK Parliamentary elections, this conference considers what the future policies and priorities might be for housing allocations and homelessness. The previous UK Government invested over 500m on programme for tackling homelessness. Furthermore the Prime Minister established a Ministerial working group on homelessness, which published two policies, one for ending rough sleeping and the other for preventing homelessness. However, during the same period official statistics showed an increase in homelessness acceptances, the number of households living in temporary accommodation, the levels of rough sleeping and homelessness prevention cases. Various academic studies have shown that housing need has increased over the past five years, with affordability, demand and supply worsening. Some reports forecast the true scale of homelessness is hidden, especially amongst young people. Recently, The Supreme Court has handed down some landmark judgments that will affect how local authorities administer their housing allocations and homelessness duties. Speaking at this conference and exhibition are some of the country's leading professionals from local government, social landlords, third sector providers, private sector companies and legal professionals. They will share their knowledge and experience, plus facilitate discussion and debate about the most pressing challenges facing our sector and the potential solutions available. The event is a must for professionals working in lettings and homelessness as we examine what is needed to deliver the best possible service for customers. Delegates will have the opportunity to attend 4 keynote and 4 workshop sessions throughout the two days. This years' event offers delegates the perfect opportunity to receive the information you really need to take back to your organisation and make a difference.
