Cultural adequacy: Housing is not adequate if it does not respect and take into account the expression of cultural identity. Renting is a great way to see if you like living in an area before committing to it long-term. Rental contracts are usually drawn up for 12 months, although six-month rental contracts are sometimes available, depending on the landlord. Sax’s housing solution was based on capitalism, but like Proudhon his proposal was that each worker should own their own house. Sax advocated factory owners allocating land and resources to workers to build their own dwellings. By becoming homeowners, workers would become ‘proprietors’ and the class distinctions and conflicts with bosses would dissipate, Sax reasoned. Many providers will agree that if they were to ask a team member their view on having to fill in a survey to prove they have completed their compliance obligations, they are likely to grumble and complain that it’s a nuisance. If customer-centricity is ingrained throughout the organisation, they would not only consider the completion of that survey as an essential element to the service excellence they deliver, they would naturally recognise the importance of keeping every person and every home safe. In this way, corners will not be cut and the customer will always come first.

Housing and real estate markets worldwide have been transformed by global capital markets and financial excess. Known as the financialization of housing, the phenomenon occurs when housing is treated as a commodity – a vehicle for wealth and investment rather than a social good. Equality and non-discrimination You can think of a city as a giant labour market: all the businesses looking for people with the right skills, and all the people looking for the right job. It’s a matching problem, so the more places you can easily reach, the more likely you’ll find the right match. He added: "I think also they've got their priorities wrong. I think the priority in that you grow and build more homes that actually people in need can't afford, is not the priority we should have today. Your rubbish will be collected either weekly or fortnightly by the local authority. Ask your landlord for details All successful local authorities have been notified of their provisional awards, as have MPs who have projects in their constituencies.

The landlord intends to "communicate its whistleblowing policy consistently and to encourage a culture of ‘calling out’ and is also providing specific Equality and Diversity training that includes confidence building to empower staff to challenge when they feel policies or procedures and a process-driven culture has overtaken doing what is right.

After you arrivedat your pre-booked temporary housing, start your search for longer-term housing early with help from your institution. Internet searches, housing agencies, local newspapers and advertisements in shop windows or on a institution notice board are useful when you are looking for somewhere to live.

Consideration of the equalities and environmental impacts of provisional ministerial decisions Projects are categorised based on information provided by the Local Authority in their application to the LUF Round 2. Thematic categorisation is based on the majority theme from the local authorities’ spending allocations (that is, a 34% Culture, 33% Transport, 33% Regeneration project would be classified as a ‘Culture’ project). Projects with equally weighted largest spending allocation (that is, 50%, 50%, 0%, or 35%, 35%, 30%, etc.) were classified as ‘Combination’ themes.

How diverse is the housing association workforce in England?

While the landlord created a damp and mould taskforce last year, the Ombudsman has concerns about its training, which seems to concentrate on the technical requirements on a landlord and whether it needs to concede liability when a disrepair claim has been submitted. The report examines the initial lessons identified by the landlord following Awaab’s death, and actions since the inquest, to make more than 20 recommendations for improved practice to support the landlord’s recovery in areas including disrepair, resident engagement and organisational learning. Caridon said the company had offered the Guardian guided tours and interviews with tenants. It put us in touch with two current Templefields House tenants and two ex-tenants, all of whom spoke positively about the building and Caridon. Details of the projects selected to receive funding from the second round of the Levelling Up Fund were published on GOV.UK on 20 November 2023.
