CIH Scotland and partners are gearing up for this year’s Scottish Housing Day which takes place in just one week’s time on Wednesday the 19th of September.

Scottish Housing Day aims to celebrate the impact that housing makes to the lives of people and communities across the country, as well as communicating about housing options. With 2018 also the ‘year of young people’, the focus this year is how we meet the housing needs of young people. The day is organised by the Chartered Institute of Housing Scotland, the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations, Homes for Scotland, Shelter Scotland, the Association of Local Authority Chief Housing Officers, the Scottish Association of Landlords, the Tenant Participatory Advisory Service Scotland, Regional Network of Registered Tenants Organisations and the Scottish Government.

Here at CIH Scotland, we have a number of exciting events lined up to mark the day including:
