The Bevan foundation and Shelter Cymru seminar
Where next for social rent?
Tuesday 2nd April 2019 - Orangery, Margam Park,Port Talbot
Social landlords are expected to be given freedom to set their own rents in the near future, after many years of the Welsh Government determining rent rises. At the same time, welfare reform and below inflation wage rises have put pressure on low income households.
This seminar will explore the issue of affordability and outline alternative approaches to social rent – setting, drawing on examples from Wales and elsewhere in the UK. Our keynote speaker, Ian Wilson from the Centre for Research on Economic and Social Research at Sheffield Hallam University will draw on his experience of undertaking in depth reviews of social housing with several social landlords in England as well as a recent study of the South Wales Valleys.
We are also delighted that representatives from Merthyr Valleys Homes and Trivallis will also be discuss their differing approaches to setting a living rent whilst Ashella Lewis and Jennie Bibbings of Shelter Cymru share insights from recent casework.
