Championing equality, diversity and inclusion
Rewatch this summit, where four people from diverse and minority backgrounds have a platform to talk about their journeys.
Storytelling can be a powerful tool in helping us build our understanding of diverse and underrepresented communities. Every individual has their own needs, desires and experiences, informed by the culture in which we grew up, our gender, age, religion and sexuality, and how the limitations of our bodies – mental and physical – impact the way we live our lives. This event is an excellent opportunity to highlight the practical ways diversity makes us a more robust, innovative, and caring sector.

Creating a sustainable furnished tenancy scheme
The challenges of creating a new scheme are daunting, but furnished tenancy schemes have been proven to be essential in supporting people to sustain a home.
End Furniture Poverty has worked across the UK to understand how to create a sustainable FT scheme, from an operational, financial, and social value perspective.
We listened to insights gathered from speaking to tenants who have live-in furnished tenancies, and those living in furniture poverty and learn best practice from existing schemes with advice and support covering everything you need to know how to launch an FT scheme.
Please read the report created by End Furniture Poverty entitled no place like home.

Launch of the UK Housing Review 2021
The annual UK Housing Review is packed with data and analysis about the housing market, social housing, benefits and homelessness. ICIH and the Review’s main authors explored some of the main headlines and findings from across the year, and took a deep dive into issues such as how we deal with homelessness post-Covid, whether schemes to help first-time buyers are working, and whether the government’s housing investment plans will achieve their targets.
You can purchase copies of the UK Housing Review 2021 from our bookshop.
Scotland’s housing leaders’ network: Housing and human rights
The next Scottish Government is likely to legislate so that human rights are incorporated in Scots law. But what does that mean for the housing sector and to what extent is our sector delivering on the human rights of tenants and communities?
We heard what the introduction of new legislation incorporating economic, social and cultural rights into Scots law will mean in practice and discussed how ready is the sector for the changes coming.
