It's rewarding to read testimonials from people who have lived in temporary accommodation, often hotels, who have managed to find a permanent social housing home through our service. What we do is impactful, if you're a HA and want to help us to make this impact and reduce your void time (for free!) get in touch with me at Bridge Housing Solutions jess@bridgehousingsolutions.co.uk
Ealing open applicant day!- Ealing Council (London Borough of Ealing) An amazing turn out with Ealing applicants coming to speak to us about their housing options. One of our quarterly open days we do each year! We find these most important, as it allows our clients to feel more comfortable when approaching us about their needs. Most times phone calls can come across too formal and they are not able to take in our need to help them. We have had success with this route every year and the turnaround to finding them a property is much more efficient and effective. I would like to thank the Ealing team for allowing us to do this within their halls and here’s to many more open days in the future!
Thank you Venture Studio from Crisis for the continuous support, we are honoured to be part of such a fantastic portfolio of companies. Lets tackle #socialimpact together.
In our previous #impactreport, we shared the ambition of our #investment strategy to demonstrate how disruptive the impact of a leading national #homelessness charity investing in #startups could be. We wanted to highlight a few key achievements on this journey over the last year showcasing how our portfolio of companies are creating #socialimpact and working to increase access to, or supply of, good quality, #affordable homes. Here’s a few examples of what we’ve achieved together, and we’re excited to build on this over the coming year: 🤝 Connected our companies to more than 23 investors, and eight potential customers, and helped put both investors and customers in the spotlight. 👷♂️ Agile Homes welcomed four people, released from prison on temporary licence (ROTL), to its centre for low-carbon and innovative construction skills. Through their partnership with the Ministry of Justice, several other prisoners helped build homes for Agile clients in prison workshops. 💸 Bridge Housing Solutions helped create 331 tenancies. Over the year they also helped local government save £22,068,000 by sourcing social housing tenancies, rather than private sector accommodation. 🏚 Pfida’s ethical, shariah-compliant debt-free home ownership solution has attracted over 8,700 people looking to purchase a home through their Home Provision Scheme. From July 2022 to June 2023, they financed 44 properties. 📋 Lanu worked with Barking and Dagenham Council, creating digital summaries for over 60 properties, making proposed developments easier to understand for the local community. 🌱 GoodPAYE have worked with more than 35 charities and 25 employers to transform employee giving, enabling the charities to engage with individual supporters directly and share the impact of their donations. 🙌 Urban Intelligence achieved their impact target of 15 public sector organisations using their software to help meet housing targets and create smarter plans to meet the shortfall in housing provision.
