The Housing Studies Association is immensely saddened by the news that Sarah Webb, who recently stepped down as the Chief Executive of the Chartered Institute of Housing, has died.
Sarah touched the lives of many of our members with her commitment to housing, both as a vital practical concern in today’s society and as a subject of intellectual enquiry in its own right. Many of our members had the good fortune to work with Sarah directly, either at the CIH or through one of the other housing organisations that benefited from her talents.
Sarah was a strong supporter of the HSA. She contributed wisdom and a sense of practical reality to our annual conferences as a plenary speaker, and she helped foster close working links between the CIH and HSA. We are indebted to her support.
A full obituary and tributes from the housing sector can be read on the CIH’s website here www.cih.org/SarahWebb.htm
