Historically social landlords have played a central role in providing secure and affordable accommodation to people on low incomes. However, many housing providers also recognise the importance of going beyond the fundamental housing needs of their tenants to address the wider social issues that affect communities.
To help address some of these wider social issues Ashram, in partnership with the Home Office and CLG, are pleased to provide the following training programmes for frontline staff in housing and related sectors.
