Be part of the CIH Northern Housing Festival and connect with housing professionals, politicians, practitioners and tenants exploring the North's housing challenges and opportunities.
Join us for the Northern Housing Festival 2026
At this pivotal moment for housing policy, engage in debates, roundtables and strategy labs on devolution deals, with insights from leading political figures. We'll cover economic outlooks, Decent Homes Standards, Awaab's Law compliance, competency standards, tackling stigma and inequalities, and addressing homelessness and poverty. Sessions include AI applications in housing, options for older people, and migration issues.
Tenant involvement and lived experience are central this year, bringing fresh perspectives and collaboration.
With something for every housing professional, we're delivering the programme in three new exciting formats: The Debate, The Roundtable and The Strategy Lab.
Now is the time to invest in yourself. Develop your skills, expand your knowledge, and grow your network. We hope to see you there!
