Last week, our Housing Buddies met online to discuss several different projects we are keen to launch over the coming months:
When it is safe to do so, we’ll be hoping to get out and about delivering talks about HOS to different groups across Scotland;
We are hoping to set up a “Get help with your social housing applications!” appointment system, where clients can book time with our buddies to go through their applications with different Housing Associations;
Our research into allocation policies and provisions for applicants with learning disabilities will be getting a boost, as some of our buddies are keen to give a hand there;
We’ll be looking at finding ways of assessing the impact of COVID-19 on our client base together by completing a study/survey with our clients;
And, of course, we’ll be continuing all of the usual casework support our Buddies are involved with.
Lots of exciting plans being made – watch this space as we see them come to fruition in the coming months!
