In her first budget, the UK’s new chancellor Rachel Reeves pledged £500m to support the construction of 5,000 social homes – as well as a range of other measures intended to support providers to invest in building out social housing stock.

To ensure that these investments help address what, for many local authorities, has become a crisis, the sector will need to make effective use of technology.

Digital systems can help councils best map and manage current demand, while also providing the opportunity to give tenants more proactive support.

In the longer term, data standards and the application of advanced analytics can help policymakers understand and respond to the most deeply ingrained challenges.

The new government’s drive to support the social-housing sector offers a singular opportunity for digital and data to be built in from the ground up. This webinar discussion, brought to you by PublicTechnology and Civica, will examine how government, local authorities, and housing providers can ensure that the next generation of social homes uses technology to meet the needs of all parties.

Topics being examined will include:

• How managers and policymakers can use data to understand and respond to their biggest challenges
• Building new homes with digital in mind
• Using tech and automation to streamline admin processes and free up time for more complex issues
• How to capture comprehensive and consistent data – and put it to good use in providing support
• How to equip tenants to use digital services to interact with housing providers
