New Housing Coalition To Improve Understanding Of Problems In South East
Three key housing organisations have come together to form the South East Housing Coalition and will provide a united voice for housing in regional economic planning.
The Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) South East, Shelter and the National Housing Federation (NHF) will pool their extensive regional expertise, research and resources to provide more co-ordinated engagement with regional bodies in the South East.
The new coalition will see the three organisations provide an authoritative housing information resource for regional decision makers, across issues that include housing delivery and the role of housing in the economy.
The new coalition will be launched today at the CIH housing reception at the House of Commons, hosted by Paul Clark MP, where regional MPs, councillors and housing leaders will have the chance to discuss the housing challenges facing the South East in the current economic climate.
Graham Maunders, Chair of CIH South East, said: "This new coalition between CIH, NHF and Shelter in the South East provides a positive example of partnership working across the sector in the current difficult times and will help us tackle some of the challenges ahead."
