Elly Hoult aims to motivate people to ‘choose housing’ in CIH presidential bid.

Elly Hoult, the newly appointed president of the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH), has launched an inspiring campaign titled CHOOSE HOUSING. This campaign aims to shed light on the numerous career opportunities available in the housing sector, encouraging individuals to consider housing as a fulfilling career choice.

The CHOOSE HOUSING campaign seeks to dispel the common narrative of people stumbling into housing careers by actively promoting the idea of actively choosing this path. Elly Hoult passionately advocates for individuals to pursue a career in housing, emphasizing the sector’s role in creating opportunities, building communities, and making a tangible impact on people’s lives.

Reflecting on the launch of her campaign, Elly Hoult expressed, “No matter your background, selecting the right career can significantly shape your future. In the housing sector, we go beyond just providing homes – we shape futures, forge connections within communities, and truly make a difference. Whether you are at the beginning of your career journey or considering a change, there is a place for everyone in housing.”

As part of the CHOOSE HOUSING campaign, Elly has chosen to support Barnardo’s, a charity dedicated to transforming the lives of children and young people for over 150 years. Barnardo’s offers essential services and advocacy to ensure children and young people feel safe, empowered, and optimistic about the future.

Elly expressed her enthusiasm for supporting Barnardo’s, stating, “Barnardo’s plays a vital role in empowering children and young people, aligning closely with the ethos of my campaign. I am thrilled to raise funds for Barnardo’s and contribute to their noble cause.”

Gavin Smart, the chief executive of CIH, commended Elly’s CHOOSE HOUSING campaign, highlighting the importance of collaboration within the housing sector to inspire innovation and strengthen the industry. He praised Elly’s dedication to promoting housing as a rewarding career choice and inspiring the next generation of housing professionals.
