CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF HOUSING

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.

EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY 2008-2010

CIH published its first equality and diversity strategy in 2004, called 'Open to all, closed to prejudice'. The strategy has proved very successful and has enabled CIH to become more representative of the sector, especially in the area of race - 14 per cent of our UK members have Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) backgrounds. Our latest strategy is broader and equally as challenging. We have set ourselves some new targets in relation to race and gender. In addition, more priority will be given to the development of our activities in the areas of disability, age, sexual orientation and religion or belief.
