Housing Disrepair CIC
Tell us what your business does?
Housing disrepair CIC - supports and takes action on behalf of people living in poor quality local authority and social housing. We provide a holistic approach to supporting people not only with housing advice but with mental health, social issues, finance, wrap-around support by addressing their key housing problems and initiating the appropriate realistic action. This can involve signposting to additional support to local partners.
What are passions and ambitions of the business or organisation?
I have a passion for social justice having been an elected member of Liverpool City Council for 16 years. I have a history of working in debt advice and this drive is something I am bringing to Housing Disrepair CIC. The ambition of the business is to break down barriers for people seeking help and support, engage communities to challenge poor standards of living.
