Introducing special guests: Leon Storer, Director at Ark, formerly Director of Assets at Stonewater John Ghader, CEO of Prima Group Paul Mullis, CEO of DAMHA 2025 Inside Housing Repairs Tracker showed that housing providers in England spent a record £8.8 billion on repairs and maintenance in 2023-24 — £1 billion more than the previous year and a 63% increase since 2020-21 . This rise stemmed from greater scrutiny on damp and mould, fire safety, and compliance-driven repairs , with upcoming regulations like Awaab’s Law set to impose legal deadlines for fixing hazards. Meanwhile, the Regulator introduced TSMs, requiring providers to improve repair response times and communication. With rising costs and limited resources, how can housing providers balance compliance, tenant expectations, and financial sustainability? This session explores recent repair trends , how providers are adapting , and strategies for navigating these challenges .

In today’s session we explored how reward programs could drive tenant engagement and help Housing Associations tackle the ongoing cost of living crisis. Today's session was designed for housing professionals across the UK, focusing on how integrating reward programs into self-service portals could create positive incentives for tenants to engage online. We discussed how offering tenants personalised rewards, such as grocery vouchers and discounts, encouraged more frequent portal usage, turning interactions like reporting repairs or paying rent into opportunities to access meaningful benefits. Key highlights included: Cost of Living Crisis Solutions: Innovative ways to support tenants during challenging times through tailored reward programs. Boosting Engagement: Insights on how integrating rewards into portals increased tenant self-service and engagement rates. Out-of-Sector Case Studies: Examples of successful reward programs in other sectors and their potential applications for housing.

Housing Hive: The Importance of Tenancy Engagement 37:59

Today's Housing Hive webinar featured a deep dive into the crucial topic of tenant engagement, led by Thom Shackleford, Product Manager at Prodo. Thom explored "The Importance of Tenant Engagement," highlighting the challenges and opportunities brought about by digitalisation in the housing sector. As digital transformation continues to shape the industry, it becomes increasingly important to understand how these changes impact tenant interactions and satisfaction. Thom began by addressing the common pitfalls of digitalisation, emphasising that technology, while beneficial, often lacks a personal touch, potentially alienating tenants if not implemented thoughtfully. He underscored why engagement is essential, pointing out that tenants who feel heard and valued are more likely to have positive experiences, which directly impacts the overall success of housing projects. Popular areas of digitalised engagement, such as onboarding and repair processes, were discussed, showing how these touchpoints are pivotal in creating a seamless tenant journey. The conversation then shifted to practical examples, as Prodo’s Account Director, Olivia, joined Thom to share real-world case studies. They explored iterative digital rollouts and various methods of feedback collection with customers, highlighting how these strategies lead to improved outcomes. By focusing on collecting feedback and closing the loop, the teams demonstrated how engaging tenants at every stage of the process not only meets their needs but also drives project enhancements. These insights underscored the undeniable link between effective tenant engagement and the success of digital initiatives in the housing sector Sign up to the next Housing Hive: https://www.prodo.com/housing-hive Send us a text…

Join our next Housing Hive here: https://www.prodo.com/housing-hive The current economic landscape and operating environment in social housing is challenging. This complexity is compounded by the imminent change to consumer regulation as the sector prepares for the biggest regulatory shift for over a decade. Check out our latest Housing Hive webinar, where Sector Transformation Expert Amanda Leonard discusses navigating the current challenges and how to prepare for regulatory change. From effective risk mitigation strategies, capacity generating operating practices and getting underneath the new standards to how to build trust and improve tenant satisfaction. We delve into the core responsibilities of social housing providers, addressing the imperative to deliver safe and decent homes while contributing to the creation of new homes for those. With capacity busting, multiple priorities this is a must attend session as we explore. Personalising service delivery by understanding customer preferences and needs to build trust and create internal capacity to support those in need and tackle operational complexity. As Jonathan Walters, Deputy Chief Executive at RSH, emphasises in the recent Sector Risk Profile , "Social housing providers are navigating difficult economic terrain. Boards must be clear-eyed and strategic about the risks they face, and deploy appropriate mitigations when needed. They must also make sure they are ready for our stronger programme of consumer regulation from next April. Providers have a core role of providing safe and decent homes for tenants and building new homes for people who need them. It is vital that they continue to meet our regulatory standards as they do this." Send us a text…

Housing Hive: Bridging the Digital Divide- Empowering the Digitally Excluded 52:05

1 year yang lalu52:05

52:05

Join our next Housing Hive here: https://www.prodo.com/housing-hive We all witnessed how the pandemic highlighted the exacerbation of inequalities through digital exclusion, and how lack of connectivity or digital skills can limit all areas of daily life. When it comes to the numbers, it’s approximated that 11m people across the country do not have access to the internet, with 1 in 3 of those people being in social housing (as reported by Inside Housing). So what can landlords do to help? We’ve all heard the “digital-first” stories of the past, where channel shift numbers were the drivers, forcing customers to engage digitally by purposefully reducing the effectiveness and responsiveness of other channels. In reality, the effective way to utilise digital to address this is to focus on understanding customers and providing choice. Give the people who have the ability, confidence, access and means to engage digitally the platform they need to manage their tenancies, delivering an efficient and transparent service. In turn, unlocking the internal capacity to focus on supporting the people who need those non-digital support channels. Rob Quayle, CEO of Prodo, emphasises this point: “If 30% of your customers are digitally excluded, for whatever reason - economic, needs or preferences, you won’t find me suggesting you try and convert them to digital. What you will find is me advocating to get the 70% who want a digital service to enable 24/7 contact, online appointments, and push notifications for an ease-of-access experience transacting digitally to create the capacity for the 30% who need a different service.” Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into transforming your housing association's approach to digital exclusion to build trust, unlock capacity and transform customer experience across the board.
