“Housing Rights for Everyone” Affordability Conference
Good housing is the platform for building our communities, raising our children, our place of safety and well being, the core of our lives and those who depend on us. After years of policy failures and uncontrolled intervention in the housing market by professional and amateur investors, the housing situation has now reached a crisis. Sir John Semple has produced 80 recommendations in his report Review into Affordable Housing to deal with the housing crisis. The DSD Minister Margaret Ritchie MLA, has stated that affordability and the Semple report are priorities.
In this morning conference hosted by Shelter Northern Ireland on 20 June 2007 at Farset International, Belfast, delegates will hear aspects of the housing crisis expounded, how Semple’s intentions might impact on the crisis and practical examples of what has worked in other places.
