A short course to increase your understanding of the housing crisis in Wales.

What's it about?

The housing crisis continues to hit hard. Individuals and families are being let down by our housing market, with a lack of affordable homes and wider cost of living pressures among the factors that mean many people have nowhere to call home.

This introductory course will give you an insight into housing in Wales, including the homes which people live in and the organisations responsible for providing them, regulating them and planning for more. It will also explain the key elements of the housing crisis in terms of supply, affordability and suitability.
