The Housing Reform Green Paper

Housing reform debate - CIH - logoThe Government has announced plans to publish a housing reform green paper.

The Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH), in partnership with Communities and Local Government, are hosting an E-forum to debate the issues feeding into the green paper over the coming months. Participants can put forward their questions, comments and ideas and contribute to the debate at http://housingreform.cih.co.uk/ (external link).

We have recently carried out a number of regional stakeholder events and roundtable discussions on housing for young people, access to sustainable home ownership and greater fairness in rented housing.   

We will be addressing issues such as how we can provide housing services and options that are:

  • better tailored to the individual and their different needs and circumstances
  • offered fairly and transparently and make best use of our limited resources
  • delivered through a family of providers, led by local authorities and including housing associations and the private rented sector; and
  • make ownership of all or part of a home more accessible

We have provided notice of the housing green paper to open up a debate. There will be a range of opportunities for all stakeholders to debate the issues and input into the green paper.  

We have received a number of submissions in response to our request for initial views on the principles of the green paper.

If you would like to submit views or if you have any questions you may contact us at: housingreform@communities.gsi.gov.uk
