NEW PUBLICATIONS FROM CIH

Introducing Affordable Housing

This new edition of the essential book for housing and related courses is now available. The provision and management of affordable housing demands a wide range of knowledge and expertise. This important text examines the history and role of social and affordable housing in the UK and goes on to explore how it is financed, developed, and managed. It considers the key tasks which housing professionals have to undertake and some of the issues inherent in different approaches to these tasks. It recognises that sustainability underlies the work of affordable housing providers, in terms not only of protecting the environment and our scarce resources, but also in relation to promoting social and community cohesion within neighbourhoods.

Introducing Affordable Housing - part of the Practice Studies range - is particularly useful for students studying the Chartered Institute of Housing’s recognised qualifications, but also for broader, social policy-focused courses where an understanding of housing as a social policy issue is necessary.
