A new report from the Chartered Institute of Housing highlights how effective working between schools and housing providers can make a significant contribution to the success of neighbourhoods and communities. Housing and schools are long-term stakeholders within communities, and have the ability to deliver real benefits beyond their core roles of providing 
accommodation and education. This free report highlights the wide range of initiatives that are possible, and case studies some of the work by currently being undertaken in partnership between schools and housing.
The report includes:
A joint ministerial foreword from Ian Austin MP and Diana Johnson MP
Case studies
What housing professionals need to know about schools
Where housing and school policy meets
Strategic working at local authority level
Overcoming barriers to joint working
Managing risks
Accountability
School academies and housing providers
