The incentives to support tenants’ move into work are now more prevalent than ever for housing providers and local authorities and a significant amount is being done by both. But with the introduction of welfare reform the housing sector’s income is becoming more vulnerable. As a result there is a growing appetite to explore and develop new ways of linking the housing and welfare to work sector. Housing providers are in a unique position for a number of reasons: they have a direct relationship with their tenants; can play a central role in the delivery of support; are in a strong position to co-ordinate a holistic approach to support tenants; and they have a strong interest (mission and financial) in reducing worklessness. However, the financial pressures on housing providers means there is often a barrier to investing in effective services for their tenants. This seminar aimed to provide housing providers and a wider network of interested partners with ideas and innovative ways of tackling worklessness and housing issues. Presentations are available online.
