CIH LONDON
Welcome to the website for the CIH's London Branch. We are an elected voluntary committee representing members within London, with a mission to raise awareness of the CIH amongst those with an interest in housing.
BREAKING DOWN THE BARRIERS TO DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN LONDON
The London Branch of the Chartered Institute of Housing held a seminar last year to inspire people to get on and deliver sustainable, affordable housing in London. Wates Living Space kindly sponsored the event.
The seminar focused on the practical ways that organisations and people are working together to increase high quality supply.
Despite the current economic climate the key actions summarising the seminar are still relevant today and the contents of that day have been encapsulated in a pamphlet, which we have distributed to London MP’s and senior figures in the London Housing world.
We welcome the fact that the new Mayor of London is committed to increasing the supply of affordable housing. At the same time as engaging in debate about a future London Housing Strategy, we will observe with interest the difference that his housing policy proposals will make to London’s housing situation.
Please do read the pamphlet, have a look at the Resources section of this web page for more information about the seminar itself, the Presentations and good practice examples. Should you have any questions then please contact Cathy Deplessis, Vice Chair, London Branch, or Tracey Gaughan, Policy Officer, London Branch, through Robin Ward, robin.ward@cih.org
