CIH Cymru is now recruiting for its Housing Futures Cymru Group. Established in 2017 Housing Futures Cymru are a policy advisory panel made up of new/young CIH members that have a stake in the future of the housing profession in Wales, set up and supported by CIH Cymru.

Why get involved?

• Are you full of ideas about what the Welsh Government should do about the housing crisis?
• Are you a housing professional under the age of 35 or have been in post within your housing organisation for less than five years?

If you’ve answered yes to both these questions, then here’s an opportunity for you to influence at the highest level.

What Housing Futures Cymru does

The group influences at the heart of Welsh Government, including the Cabinet Secretary for Housing & Local Government.

Having met regularly with successive Housing Ministers, the group was invited to submit its response to the Welsh Government’s Independent Review into the supply of affordable housing and has had representation on Welsh Government Stakeholder groups such as the Tenants at the Heart of Regulation review. The group also developed its own manifesto ahead of the 2021 Senedd elections.

Entry requirements

If you have great ideas to feed into the policy debate in Wales, then this is an opportunity for you.

The group is open to members from across tenures, so whether you work in the Private Rented Sector or for a private developer; a Local Authority or Housing Association; a co-operative or tenant organisation.

• Eligibility: To join, you will need to be a current member of CIH in order to take up a place on the panel, but we will accept applications from non-members if they demonstrate a commitment to join.
