The Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) is the professional body for people involved in housing and communities. We are a registered charity and not-for-profit organisation. We have a diverse and growing membership of over 21,000 people – both in the public and private sectors – living and working in over 20 countries on five continents across the world. We exist to maximise the contribution that housing professionals make to the wellbeing of communities.
CIH has joined with the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) to launch the first network for professionals in housing and planning. John Callcutt MBE launched the new network on 7 November. Network membership is free and offered UK wide to anyone with an interest in planning for housing.
