Housing Infrastructure

The HFi has been producing leading work on infrastructure recently. In particular, our report 'Better Connections'. This has been recognised by the highly regarded House of Commons Library. They draw on our research in their report 'Tackling the under-supply of housing in England'.

Our Chairman, Sir Mark Boleat, will also be speaking about infrastructure tomorrow (28th March) as he has been invited as a panellist for City & Financial Global's 'UK Infrastructure Policy & Investment Summit'.

Housing Business Breakfast

Due to the timing of Easter this year, we have decided that our next Housing Business Breakfast will take place on Wednesday, 6 June 2018, 8:30am to 10am at a central London location. This is a great opportunity to not only network, but also, discuss the most important issues facing the housing industry. More details coming soon.
