This is an interesting read from The National Housing Federation about the future of lived experience. The blog and report make the point that ending homelessness is about making a life - putting a roof over someone’s head is just the first step. It’s also important to note that many people need ongoing support when they get their own place and it’s not always available.

The Future of Supported Housing project: learning from lived experience
We reviewed the existing literature from the perspective of people with lived experience of supported housing, to understand the experiences and challenges they have already shared.

Happy memories are something we can look back on time and time again with a smile on our faces! 😊

Here is a picture and quote from David, a previous resident who has moved on to independent living.

“I want to express my sincere gratitude to Deventio Housing Trust and especially my housing officer, who went far beyond what his role required. From the very beginning he walked with me through the process with patience, understanding and genuine care. With the emotional challenges I was carrying at the time, the journey could easily have been overwhelming, but he handled everything with kindness and professionalism”.

As a supported housing provider, it gives us great pride as an organisation, and job satisfaction for our staff when residents are able to move onto independent accommodation following on from the support we have provided to them while in our supported accommodation.

Our Instagram page is full of happy memories, take a look and follow us at https://www.instagram.com/derventiohousingtrust/

So today, take a moment to relive a happy memory, or even take a picture to look back on in the future to remember today!

Get Online Week 19-25th October

Get Online Week is the largest annual digital inclusion campaign which is run by The Good Things Foundation. It’s aim is to close the digital divide by helping people gain the skills and confidence to navigate and access the modern digital world.

Some interesting statistics:
• Only 1 in 3 adults are comfortable being online.
• 34 million adults in the UK face some sort of barrier to being online, such as data poverty, a lack of basic digital skills or confidence being online.
At Derventio Housing Trust we promote online access in many ways.

Last year we ran a digital inclusion course at our Growing Lives project over several weeks to support participants to gain more confidence and improved digital skills.

Sylvester’s Fund helps residents to access items they are struggling to afford. During the last year 3% of Sylvester’s Fund was spent on mobile phones. This has helped to reduce digital exclusion by providing people with online access to a range of different digital services such as the NHS app, online banking and Universal Credit journal.
