desperately need our services.”

One of the initiatives highlighted in LinkLiving’s submission for the awards is the Help on Managing Everything (HoME) project, which came into being after Link

housing officers identified a variety of issues tenants struggle with and which required a more supportive and flexible programme.

Working together with housing teams, LinkLiving project workers provide needs-led intensive housing management assistance, enabling tenants to better maintain their

homes and settle into communities.
