South East Eye - July 2009
We hope it gives you a real flavour of our region's activities and priorities. After another successful conference in March, we've pulled together a programme of activity for the year which we hope reflects members' interests. We're working closely with the National Housing Federation and Shelter to collectively address key housing issues in the South East, while actively encouraging education opportunities and raising awareness about membership. We are also working with other regions to share learning. I hope you will be taking part in our activities over the next few months.

The theme of this year's conference is the housing market - how are we dealing with adversity and what does the future hold?
