Supported housing network meeting
The online meeting of the Supported Housing Network catches up on all this supported housing over the last month.
Supporting residents and staff with the cost of living
A practical look at how social housing providers can help ease some of the pressures on people as we head into another winter.
Many people are struggling with cost of living pressures and there’s no sign of them easing. In this webinar we’ll hear from:
- The CIH policy team on any help being made available following the government’s Autumn Budget on 30 October
- A range of social housing providers providing active support in this space.
Early lessons from WHQS 2023
WHQS 2023 is now live. What have you and your organisation been doing in terms of implementation, and is it working?
This webinar aims to bring together housing professionals from organisations across Wales, together with Welsh Government officials, to learn some early practice lessons from implementation.
An introduction to framing, with a focus on social homes
The first session in the series introduces you to what framing is and why it matters, with recommendations for framing communications about social homes.
How we talk about homes matters. We all have power as communicators to tell a story about homes that builds understanding and support for solutions to make our housing system better.
We need a new conversation about housing in the UK, to build greater public support and action to deliver quality homes for everyone.
That’s why Joseph Rowntree Foundation and the Nationwide Foundation have been partnering with FrameWorks UK – to understand how people think about homes in the UK, and to find communications strategies that we can all use to reframe our communications.
In this series, Sophie Gordon, Principal Communications Strategist from FrameWorks UK will share insights, guidance and tips, useful for anyone communicating about homes, and those with an interest in how we can build support for change.
Designing a Cost Rental Scheme in Ireland
Join us for our first session in our new cost rental series where we will discuss the stages of designing a cost rental scheme.
Cost rental is a relatively new housing tenure that was created under the Affordable Housing Act 2021. It is aimed at people who are above the threshold for social housing but have difficulty affording private rented accommodation. Cost rental homes are delivered by AHBs, local authorities and the land development agency.

Building Better Boards: Assurance – how sure are you?
This session will explore what is meant by the term “assurance”, and why it matters. We will examine the roles and responsibilities of the board and the executive team and learn how to effectively deal with conflicting tensions.
We will also assess whether boards can rely on internal auditors alone; how to be confident that auditors are doing a good job and when to seek assurance from specialist external auditors.
Addressing Health Inequalities: Supported Housing and Health
As part of our Healthy Homes, Healthy Places Week in partnership with AICO, CIH is speaking to providers of supported housing about the long-term health benefits their services provide to residents.
Attendees will gain further understanding of the relationship between housing and health. The role of supported housing providers in improving community health and the constraints of the current operational environment that may put these lifelines at risk.
Health starts at home – progress on tackling damp and mould
This session kick starts Healthy Homes, Healthy Places week – a campaign to focus on how housing interventions can improve the health and wellbeing of tenants.
We will start by looking at the critical issue of tackling damp and mould and the progress being made across the sector.
