Housing association management

Housing assocation managers need to meet challenging targets for occupancy, asset yield, cost control and tenant satisfaction.

Key issues

• Meeting the Decent Homes standard and securing funding as a result
• Managing multiple sites effectively
• Providing a professional service to tenants
• Maintaining properties in a good state of repair

The solution

Geographical information can help by enabling you to:

• manage your property records more efficiently;
• analyse occupancy rates and maintenance schedules visually;
• provide information to prospective tenants about local amenities; and
• share information with stakeholders using a common referencing framework.
