Kate Davies' White Paper on proposed radical reform to the way we both use technology and better collaborate in the social housing sector is worth reading. Kate was for almost two decades CEO of Notting Hill Genesis, one of the largest housing associations in the UK. The White Paper provides a wonderful insight into the sector, its history and its challenges, with tangible and practical ideas as to how technology can be used to revolutionise the way we operate.
If you don’t have time to read the whole paper, section 2.5 explores the potential for a National Social Housing Database and how it could be the catalyst for truly positive change, improving the lives of tenants and empowering those that support them.
