IT for Housing

http://www.itforhousing.co.uk



Published every two months, IT for Housing is a magazine covering a variety of IT related issues relevant to the Social Housing Movement. The site features contents listing for the current and previous issues, plus a small links page, a noticeboard function and a series of articles on the topic of supported housing. However, the site seems not to have been updated since 2002, meaning that the current status of IT for Housing is unclear. [MG/RS/GAS, 1 Jun 2006].

New Start - Community Regeneration Online

http://www.newstartmag.co.uk/




New Start describes itself as "the first choice weekly news magazine in the UK for all involved in community regeneration". It was first published on 5 February 1999, and exists "to provide news, comment and analysis for all concerned with regeneration, physical, economic and social, and to stimulate debate and discussion of policy". Totally independent, both editorially and commercially, New Start aims to be a prime source of job opportunities in regeneration through its recruitment advertising pages, as well as providing up-to-the-minute editorial content. As well as providing information about the hard copy magazine, the attractively-designed New Start site is a valuable resource in its own right - content includes extensive news coverage, job vacancies, public notices, an excellent 'features' section packed with interesting articles, and a well-organised links page. Awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 21 Oct 2008].

Place North West

http://www.placenorthwest.co.uk/



PlaceNorthWest is a helpful and nicely presented resource for property and regeneration professionals in the North West of England, including news, reviews, features and comment from leading journalists and experts in the North West. News content can be filtered by location (such as Liverpool, Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire and Cumbria) or by sector (architecture, construction, housing and transport, among others), but appears to be only accessible to those with a paid subscription. However, there are no restrictions on access to the features, comment, events listing, 'who's who' and forum sections. [GAS, 28 Jan 2008].

ROOF Magazine

http://www.roofmag.org.uk/



Produced by the charity Shelter, ROOF is a bi-monthly magazine covering all aspects of housing policy, and which "aims to provide a wide variety of in-depth comment and analysis plus hard-hitting features and revealing interviews with government ministers and other leading figures". While the site features snippets from the magazine, full articles are only accessible to those with a subscription. However, the site offers a helpful page of housing-related links, a jobs page with hundreds of opportunities in the social housing sector, and an excellent, up-to-date events listing - these features are accessible to all, and well worth a look. [GAS, 8 May 2006].
