The welfare reforms planned for April 2013 are a big upheaval. For housing associations this could mean rent loss, increasing arrears and constraints on future income growth.

In order to avert these risks, landlords will need to better understand their tenants. Resource allocation will have to be more targeted and more business intelligence (e.g. customer profiling) will be needed.

As not all tenants will be affected in the same way, housing associations will need to have in place improved systems for sharing information and identifying those who need help.

Looking to the future

On: 22nd January 2013

In a flourishing digital era, some people may find it difficult to believe that so many people still struggle to get themselves online. Smart phones, andriod tablets and Pc's continue to drop in price and it may seem that everyone in the street owns one. Unfortunately for many people living in areas most affected by deprivation, the need of the internet and the knowledge of how to use such an extensive tool can be lacking and other needs take priority.

A pipeline of prospects is being built; interest from local authorities, housing associations, charities and health and social care organisations.

Government-funded systems of health and social care are facing enormous fiscal and human-resource challenges. In the UK, this changing landscape has meant that the health and social care sector faces an unprecedented period of change and reinvention. There is increasing tension between local authorities, the NHS, social care providers and housing associations, etc., as statutory service provision contracts.

The rollercoaster ride of Celebration 2.0

By: john.popham@joh...
On: 10th May 2012

I suppose it’s fitting for a project that’s about celebration that I’ve found Celebration 2.0 to be something of a rollercoaster ride, to use a terribly hackneyed cliché.
