Guidance and Advice

nformation logoConducting housing need and demand assessments is a complex and specialist activity. As well as the main HNDA guidance, the CHMA is keen to provide additional guidance and advice that may be helpful for producing HNDAs and related activities. We'll expand on this when relevant guidance becomes available or if a particular need for advice is identified.
