HACT: Further reading
During March and April, social housing organisations representing a quarter of the sector made over a quarter of a million welfare calls, and identified over 120,000 vulnerable residents.
This is one of the findings from the first set of impact measures that HACT has just published.
In total, 41 social housing organisations with a combined stock of 697,801 homes - or just under 25% of the total housing association stock in the UK - sent HACT their data around the nine measures it launched in May 2020.
Andrew van Doorn, Chief Executive of HACT said: "If we were to aggregate these figures across the sector, it would indicate that the social housing sector made over a million welfare calls to residents during this time. This is a significant and notable achievement."
HACT is currently receiving data returns from organiastions for May, which will help us to evidence the continued impact of social housing organisations.
The above link gives access to download the the findings, as well as the explanatory notes.
