Housing LIN Update July - September 2012 (2nd quarter) Jeremy Porteus Director Housing LIN

Nearly 10% of members completed online survey and over half of respondents also volunteered to be involved in the telephone interviews over the summer “Fantastic resources. It is the best forum for sharing ideas, information and new developments in the sector.” Overwhelming value in supporting respondents in their work at an individual level as well as organisationally. A wide and unique membership group. Mainly across housing and social care, but with interest from health and other professionals (and consultants!) Regional networking was highly valued as were site visits to view innovation in practice Due to financial pressures, members were reluctant to pay but would consider meeting the costs of some Housing LIN items in future Housing LIN Survey: Results
