    About this Episode

    ❌ Poor customer communication/service = Poor reputation. If housing providers have learned anything over the last 12 months... It's the importance of *quality communication* with tenants. Communication that's: ✅ Proactive. ❌ Not reactive. ✅ Gentle. ❌ Not forceful. ✅ 24/7. ❌ Not 9-5. And a shining example of a housing provider with that *quality communication* is Citizen. Which is why for the upcoming episode of The Social Housing Podcast - we've brought on Steve Hayes... (Head of Comms at Citizen) To breakdown how they've proactively engaged with their 30,000 residents over the last year - by thinking more like Amazon rather than a "traditional housing provider"

    Shifting from tenant enforcement to tenant support | Episode #018

    Shifting from tenant enforcement to tenant support | Episode #018
    For many Landlords, the pandemic has shifted the way in which they engage with their residents. With the courts closed and job loss at an all time high... The "enforcement" approach became quickly redundant, post March 2020. Residents were struggling more than they EVER had before. And Landlords like Bournville Village Trust realised the "collecting with care" approach was exactly what residents required. A *care approach* that focused on: ✅ Supporting residents to help pay the rent. NOT... ❌ Enforcing them to pay the rent. --- In this episode of 'The Social Housing Podcast' Stephen Lawrence sat down with Gareth Sinnett to discuss how BVT have implemented this "collecting with care" approach. During the conversation, Stephen & Gareth discussed: ✅ The Homeless Prevention Fund and how this helped reduce BVT's higher level debt cases. ✅ Pre-tenancy support and the importance of getting tenants setup on the right foot from day one. ✅ Why BVT have created the "energy advisor" role for tenants.

    Do we have a “Pandemic of Disrepair?” 🤔 Over the last few months, there have been an increasing number of TV programs criticising the sector on the state of repairs and prevalence of disrepair claims. But what is the 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋 picture? i.e. not the “mass-media” picture but the picture from those who’re actually on the ground dealing with the reality of the situation. Well, for this week's episode of The Social Housing Podcast - we’ve brought on someone who knows that ‘reality’ better than anyone else. Russell Thompson FCIOB, Managing Director of Places Management at Places for People. During the conversation, Lewis Murray & Russell Thompson discussed: ✅ The effect lockdown has had on repairs and “the repair lag” that it’s created. ✅ The ‘fabric first approach’ ✅ Competing priorities; the need to build new homes as well as renovate old stock and achieve the Government's net zero and zero carbon targets.
