The Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) was set up to enhance the energy efficiency of socially rented homes. And with the announcement of successful SHDF Wave 2 bids, planning for project delivery across the country is now underway. Following this workshop, we caught up with CIH's Dr Matthew Scott to explore practical advice for successful delivery and take a look at the best practices including excellence in resident involvement and how best to measure success.
Helen Baker, chair of the Better Social Housing Review shares more about the recommendations set forth by the panel and what's next for housing.
The new Future Homes Standard should ensure that all new homes built from 2025 will produce 75-80 per cent less carbon emissions than homes delivered under current regulations. The new homes we build also need to meet building safety standards and form part of well-designed neighbourhoods which will provide good places to live for decades to come. Watch back our interview with CIH's Sarah Davis to discover more from this session at Housing Brighton.
Green spaces play an important role in the sustainable development of our communities. We spoke to Sophie Stephens, head of environment and sustainability, Ground Control to explores the value of green spaces, how to effectively create and maintain them, the need to promote biodiversity and how housing organisations have a key role in greening our neighbourhoods.
The cost of living crisis continues to have an impact on our tenants, with too many households having to choose between heating or eating. Following this session, we caught up with Joseph Elliott, analysis manager at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation to gather some insight into what was discussed during Housing Brighton 2023.
We now await the Social Housing Regulation Bill to receive royal assent which will increase the responsibilities of the Regulator of Social Housing. We took some time to speak to Fiona MacGregor, chief executive at the Regulator of Social Housing to discover more about the future of regulation.
The numbers of people in temporary accommodation or sleeping rough present some of the most acute housing and support needs in the country. We caught up with CIH's Hannah Keilloh to explore this session from Housing Brighton where the panel discussed what can be done to prevent homelessness, support those who are homeless and how all housing organisations can be part of the solution.

Join us for the second episode of our new series.
Welcome to the second episode of our new CIH podcast series, Doing it on purpose, hosted by CIH director of membership and business development, Josie Twinning.
In this podcast we’ll dive into conversations with women about work. It seeks to share stories, experiences, wisdom and all the messiness too. A space for women to belong, reflect and get lost in as we ‘find out who we are and do it on purpose’, these are words of the most rightly revered Dolly Parton.
In today's episode, Josie catches up with clown, best-selling author and co-founder of Laugh, Think and Play Em Stroud. Josie and Em discuss a little bit of everything, from what it means to be a mum, looking after our bodies as we continue to recover from COVID, and the real meaning of play.
