ICSH Biennial National Social Housing Conference 2019

Social Housing 2019 – Innovation, Delivery & Sustainability

The 2019 ICSH National Social Housing Conference was held from October 10-11th in Wexford, yet again bringing together key players in the housing sector from approved housing bodies, local authorities, statutory bodies, government departments, private bodies, the health services and the wider voluntary sector.  Almost 350 delegates attended the two day event which explored initiatives on the themes of innovation, delivery and sustainability that have been successful, how they can be replicated and mainstreamed as well as other measures and solutions that are needed to increase delivery and services to tenants. Speakers from Ireland, the EU and the US assisted in learning what we can use in our own organisations, from the public, non-profit or private sector.
