housIT is a virtual community of people interested or involved in housing to share knowledge and skills about best practice and innovation relating to housing and IT.

Submissions is the space where you can send us your own ideas and articles and the website will give them a wider audience.

Many thanks to the Virtual Reality Centre at the University of Teesside for their contribution.

Thanks to Chris Watts at the Housing Corporation and Simon McDonald at Newham Council for their policies on e-mail, phone and Internet use. Do contact us if you have a model policy you'd be happy to share.
