Council and Social Housing APPG

First Registered: 23/02/2026 • Last updated on: 23/02/2026

The APPG brings together parliamentarians to address homelessness and housing affordability through the delivery of council and social rent homes. It provides a forum for discussion, briefings, and evidence to support informed parliamentary debate and policy change.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
