What our members say
We value The Housing Forum’s cross sector membership and the breadth of the discussions that offers. In particular, we have found it really useful to listen to a range of different voices including Local Authorities, housing associations, construction companies, manufacturers and consultants all around one table.

Fusion Building Systems, Horsforth Mill, Leeds
What our members say
‘The UK continues to face a housing shortage and it’s now widely accepted that modern methods of construction (MMC) have a significant role to play in delivering the number of new homes needed. However, the need to drive change in the industry remains. Through its publications and forums, The Housing Forum continues to act as a catalyst for the future of MMC and we’re proud to be part of that journey.’

Sheffield City Council, New Council Houses
What our members say
I have been involved with The Housing Forum since October 2019 and invited to be part of the Local Councils Advisory Group from January 2020. I have been impressed with the enormity of the established network that The Housing Forum has and their work to gather relevant knowledge from different sectors of the industry, partners and beyond, distributing to all those who can benefit from this research. Their work is extensive in understanding the potential collaboration and knowledge gaps within the housing sector, striving to kick-start debate and fill these gaps. Working with Local Councils is part of filling one of these established gaps, encouraging knowledge sharing throughout the public sector and understanding how working with other sectors and partners can help fulfil housing delivery aspirations and achieve best practice.
