The CIH Yorkshire and Humberside Conference is a regional housing event, attracting organisations from across the region and beyond. This year’s conference will address the fundamental and related questions of sustainability and protecting the environment, but at the same time still providing affordable housing.

POSITIVE ACTION FOR DISABILITY

Earlier this year Government published the Equality Bill scheduled for introduction in 2010. The bill strengthens the law to support progress on equality and diversity issues and is likely to put public sector organisations under even more scrutiny.

CIH has introduced Positive Action for Disability to help organisations involved in planning and managing social housing to create more opportunities for disabled people to pursue careers in housing.
