What a housing officer does, who your local housing officer is and how to contact them.
We’re being inspected by the Regulator of Social Housing.
Find out about the inspection on Housing Consumer Standards Programme.
What a housing officer does
We have around 60 housing officers who:
- help council tenants understand what's expected of them as a tenant
- talk to tenants at their pre-tenancy assessments and six weekly new tenant visits about what to expect from the council
- make sure council properties are looked after and maintained
- make sure tenants can get the right support if they have learning difficulties or physical or mental health issues
- take enforcement action against tenants involved in anti-social behaviour or in breach of their tenancy conditions
- work with other services such as the Police, Social Services and SARI to make sure tenants are safe and supported
- work with tenants to apply for funding for projects to improve their community
