The Future of Healthy Housing: Launch of the Healthy Housing Initiative and Leadership Forum
Join the launch of the Healthy Housing Initiative and new Leadership Forum, shaping the future of housing and health through collaboration.
We are delighted to welcome you to the official launch of the Healthy Housing Initiative (HHI) and the introduction of the HHI Leadership Forum.
The HHI is a new interdisciplinary hub based at the University of Huddersfield, bringing together research, policy, and practice to tackle housing-related health inequalities and promote more equitable, sustainable housing futures.
This event marks the beginning of a collaborative journey. In this event, you’ll hear from leading academics and professionals about the HHI’s vision, the work already underway, and how you can get involved in shaping its direction through the new Leadership Forum.
We’ll also introduce the new MSc Housing Leadership programme — designed to support future leaders working across housing, regulation, and health systems — and hear from guest speakers about the challenges and opportunities ahead for leadership in the sector.
This is an opportunity to connect and contribute to a growing movement for healthier, fairer housing.
