A general election is on the horizon. All of the political parties are busy developing and refining their housing and community policy priorities. It is a key time for CIH and its members to understand and help shape possible future housing policies.

We have developed this unique site to keep you up to speed with all the latest, policy developments and party positions, relevant to the sector. To make life easier, we provide summaries of key documents as well as useful commentary and analysis. The site also provides valuable opportunity for debate and discussion on key issues as they emerge.

Whichever party forms a new government, the election will usher in a new dawn for housing and communities. Please log on and add your voice to the key issues that matter and help CIH to influence and shape future housing policy.

This site will be continually updated as relevant information emerges.

This site is part of CIH's Shaping Housing Futures work in which CIH and the housing community considers and discusses housing and communities issues and agendas today for better outcomes tomorrow. Watch this space for post-election developments and discussions.
