Lessons from centring youth voice in housing policy

Discover how collaborative funding can empower youth-led research to tackle housing challenges across London.

This session will share insights from the “Youth Voice in Housing” project, funded by three housing associations MTVH, Hyde and Clarion and led by Partnership for Young London, which enabled young residents to identify barriers such as affordability and access, and co-create actionable recommendations that shape policy.

Explore how partnerships between housing associations and young people established a framework for equitable, impactful funding. Attendees will gain valuable perspectives on fostering meaningful community engagement, amplifying lived experiences, and aligning investments to create long-term solutions for pressing social issues. 

The Festival is open to all members of London Funders. Unless otherwise specified, we are not able to accept bookings from non-members. If you’re a funder and interested in becoming a London Funders member, please find out more here.
