Governance

The International Housing Partnership (IHP) is governed by a steering committee made up of two representatives from each of the four countries, with the chair rotating each year. IHP operations are supported by staff from each of the sponsoring national networks – Australian Community Housing, Housing Partnership Canada, Housing Partnership United Kingdom and Ireland, and Housing Partnership Network in the U.S. IHP’s day-to-day affairs are managed by the Housing Partnership Network.
