Additional Housing Management Service
The Additional Housing Management (AHM) service is for residents who need additional housing management guidance and support. Our goal is to assist residents in sustaining their tenancy and to remain living independently in their own homes.
We currently have over 500 residents whom we visit on a regular basis. Of these approximately 200 are in the Aylesbury area and the remainder are spread across our village locations.
Those who sign up to the service will be visited monthly by one of our Additional Housing Management Advisors to help ensure residents are manging to remain independent within their own homes.
The team can assist with:
- Arranging repairs, aids and adaptations, and downsizing
- Signposting to support services to assist with reading letters, paying bills, dealing with nuisance calls, door step selling etc
- Advice on personal safety and security
- Linking residents with local resources, volunteer groups and community services to prevent social isolation
- Applying for funding and charitable grants
- Checking rent payments as we work closely with Rent Advisors and the Welfare Team
There is a weekly charge for this service however if you are in receipt of the Universal Credit Housing Element or Housing Benefit the charge will be paid by the Local Authority or the Department for Work and Pensions.
