Bite Sized Seminar - Building affordable housing in a self financed world


31 July 2012, CIH London Office

About the event

Attendance at the event is at the one off price of £99 + VAT for all delegates

Self-financing is here. For the 160+ authorities with council housing, the new system will give the opportunity for the first time to develop a long-term and effective business plan for their housing, developed locally with local people to address local priorities.

The move to housing revenue account (HRA) self-financing for local authorities represents a fundamental change to the way in which council housing is financed and with this comes risk and opportunities. This event will explore the opportunities and options as to councils can work, either alone or in partnership with RP colleagues, to provide affordable housing under the new system.

During this half day practical event, we will be identifying new methods of delivery of new affordable homes and regeneration, address the different options for delivery and also hear from a local authority on how they are looking to provide housing for their communities.

Benefits of attending

  • Latest research and practice: receive an update on how HRA self- financing impacts directly on local authorities with stock and creates a new environment and opportunities for funding new affordable housing and regeneration
  • Understand: gain a clear understanding of how the new self -financing settlement arrangements can be used to deliver on new build and regeneration
  • Knowledge & information: Learn from credible and influential high profile speakers, leading housing professionals and practitioners
  • Engage in discussion: express your thoughts on developing new housing within or outside the HRA and hear from leading experts in the sector discuss their views
  • Stay networked: An excellent opportunity to network with fellow housing professionals
