• Promoting homeownership
  Promoting homeownership has been a priority for successive governments and is already a priority for the coalition government. Shortly after the election the new government said that it would ' promote shared ownership schemes and help social tenants and others to own or part-own their home’. This is likely to mean increasing importance for the work that social housing providers carry out to promote homeownership such as right to purchase schemes, cash incentive schemes and low cost homeownership schemes. CIH have produced new guidance to help landlords in England and Wales in these areas.

• Anti-social behaviour survey results
  We published the findings from a national survey of landlords on Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) at our annual CIH conference at Harrogate. Over 300 landlords took part in the survey. It identifies which ASB activities are priorities for housing, what work is currently being undertaken, the extent of existing partnership arrangements, and what the main barriers are to developing effective long term solutions to ASB within the housing sector.

  From 6 April a new anti-social behaviour (ASB) action team will be working with housing providers to help reduce instances of ASB and improve services to tenants. Funding from Communities and Local Government has enabled this team to deliver their services to landlords without charge. They are part of a £10m initiative which also includes new guidance published on Tackling anti-social behaviour: Tools and powers.
