CHC Annual Conference 2024

Our 2024 Annual Conference will focus on the relationships and shared understanding we need to realise our shared ambition for a Wales where good housing is a basic right for all.

The challenges facing housing associations, their staff and tenants, are not unique. No one has been immune from the cumulative impact of recent years, characterised by multiple political, economic and health crises. But the effects have been felt most deeply, and for a longer time, by people on the lowest incomes. For too many of our tenants, and the staff that support them, these crises are not over.

Yet 2024 has brought with it new faces, and so new opportunities to do more to build our collective resilience. Political changes at a UK and Welsh level have the potential to bring fresh thinking to familiar challenges: whether the stubbornly high levels of homelessness in Wales, or the urgent need to build more homes and decarbonise existing homes. Through constructive relationships and mutual understanding, we can create the conditions for Housing Associations to do even more to set their tenants and communities up for success.
