No child should grow up without a safe, stable place to call home. Join the 165,000 Reasons campaign at Conservative Party Conference to explore how we can tackle the temporary accommodation crisis, protect children’s futures and ease the pressure on council budgets. Our panel will focus on practical solutions, from preventing homelessness to delivering the homes families need, and the role Conservatives can play locally and nationally.
