A tailored partnership that drives progress in your people and your organisation

Your people are your greatest asset — and investing in them is the key to long-term success. By partnering with the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH), you’ll join forces with the professional body for housing to build a skilled, knowledgeable, and connected workforce that leads with confidence.

We’ll work with you to design a bespoke partnership package that reflects your organisation’s goals, learning and development priorities, and commitment to professionalism across your teams.

What is a CIH partnership?

A CIH partnership is more than a membership package — it’s a strategic collaboration designed to help your organisation thrive.

Every partner is assigned a dedicated partnership manager, who will work with you to:

  • Identify your organisational priorities
  • Tailor a package of CIH services to meet your needs
  • Provide ongoing support and evaluation to ensure your partnership delivers lasting impact

We partner with a wide range of organisations — from local authorities and housing associations to charities, financial institutions and private sector providers — all working towards a better housing future.

What your partnership can include

Every CIH partnership is unique, but your package may include:

  • Corporate membership – providing CIH membership for your staff at preferential rates
  • Bespoke in-house training – tailored programmes that reflect your organisation’s learning plans
  • Qualifications – opportunities for staff to gain CIH-accredited qualifications
  • Events and sponsorship – participation and visibility at CIH’s high-profile sector events
