We have completed a discovery phase to understand more about how our housing allocations service operates in practice.

We aim to improve understanding of how social housing is allocated. With a focus on customers with medical needs, we reviewed the end-to-end journey from customers seeking advice and information, through to applications and assessments being carried out and individuals bidding on properties.

During discovery we aimed to:  

  • Gain a clearer understanding of customer satisfaction and expectations
  • Review the process from a customer’s perspective
  • Understand how the policy is interpreted and applied in decision making
  • Learn more about the experiences of our partners who support customers with social housing related needs

Our latest show and tell shares:

  • What we learnt about customers’ experience
  • Insights from user research with customers who recently applied to join the housing list
  • How third-party organisations support customers, the challenges they face, and suggested improvements
  • Findings and gaps in how the current policy shapes decision making
  • Our planned next steps
