HLINks Weekly: 7 April 2026

Before we dive into today's Housing LIN newsletter, we wanted to thank everyone who joined our Housing LIN conferences in Newcastle and Bristol, bringing 400 delegates together to explore future housing, wellbeing and connection.

You can now read the full event highlights, key takeaways and download the presentation slides here.

In today's edition:

• National Housing Bank to accelerate delivery of new homes
• New London Assembly Housing Committee report on social housing allocations in London boroughs
• Housing LIN guest blogs by Mark Slater (WWA) on the proposed planning policy changes, and Savannah Fishel (researcher) on strengthening intergenerational and community bonds
• PPP Manchester roundtable on Neighbourhood Health frames the agenda
• And lots more that caught our interest! 

This week, we also look forward to launching our Spring/Summer HAPPI Hour webinar series, with some early bird registration now available here.

Thank you for joining us each week and being part of our learning community.
