The Housing Board
The Housing Board is a group of senior local authority and partner agency officers meeting monthly to work collaboratively on strategic housing issues across seven districts. These are Cambridge, East Cambridgeshire, Fenland, Huntingdonshire, Peterborough, South Cambridgeshire and West Suffolk.
The Board works with its partners to share learning and experience across the local housing market area on six priorities:
- New homes & communities
- Homes for wellbeing
- Existing homes
- Housing need and homelessness
- Housing & the cost of living
- Housing & the environment
The Housing Board was previously known as Cambridge sub-Regional Housing Board (CRHB) and as CRASH (Cambridge Affordable and Social Housing group).
About the Housing Board
