Join Us for a Day of Support, Advice and Community

Join hundreds of residents already planning to attend our Summer Housing Open Day at The Forum, Hemel Hempstead on 23 July, 14:00pm-19:00pm. Our Housing Open Day is a free, friendly drop-in event where you can meet council housing teams and partner organisations, ask questions, get advice, and learn more about the services available to you.

Whether you have a specific housing issue you would like to discuss or simply want to find out more about the support on offer, this event is for you. Bringing a range of services together in one place makes it easier to access information, have meaningful conversations, and get answers to the questions that matter most to you.

We want this to be more than just an information event. It is an opportunity to strengthen relationships between residents and the council, helping you feel more informed, supported, and confident about accessing housing services when you need them.
