Socialist Society affiliated to the Labour Party, for Labour members who care about housing and homelessness
LHG Branches can be located in the regions set out by the Labour Party. Members have automatic membership of the branch covering the area they live in. However, there are not yet branches set up in every area of the country.
LHG rules say that there must be a minimum of 10 LHG members in the region to form an LHG Branch. Branches are asked to elect small Executive Committees, and are expected to report annually on their activities to the AGM. There is a small amount of funding available to support branch activities and events.
Branches promote and publicise progressive housing policies for their regions, and can also propose policies for LHG to adopt on a national basis. They may hold conferences, housing discussions, and other housing events. Some branches also support councillors with housing portfolios, and help to shape manifestos for local Elections.
