The Housing & Development Network (H&DN) is dedicated to supporting council owned Housing Companies and Local Authorities in their mission to deliver new homes.
Our goal is to inspire, empower and connect organisations through sharing knowledge and providing a strong supportive network of leaders in housing.

We bring together a collaboration of experienced housing professionals and advisors to offer valuable support to Local Authorities and Housing Companies. By leveraging the expertise of our members, we ensure that best practices are shared, and practical solutions are provided.

"The Housing & Development Network provides opportunities for the sector to grow, learn and develop at this pivotal time, exploring together new ways to fund and deliver development that prioritises reinvestment back with the community."
John Reid , Managing Director, Herts Living
