Courses for community and volunteer groups
Sue has offered numerous tailor-made courses for small community organisations, including a consortium of advice groups and refugee and migrant groups, to increase their knowledge of the ins and outs of housing issues.
If you would like to find out how Sue's training could help your organisation, please contact her directly.
Below are two examples of courses she has given a migrant group in Enfield on applying for housing.
Housing is often now described as in crisis: mortgages are very hard to get, house prices are rising, job or income loss are leading to repossessions, and restrictions on Housing Benefit are making access to the private rented sector more difficult. So the pressure on local authority housing waiting lists and homelessness services is growing. Councils and housing associations face ever more difficult decisions. But the law in this area is also changing, as a result of the Localism Act and case law.
