#Jeremytalks

Welcome to #Jeremytalks and my weekly piece to audio to coincide with our must-read weekly bulletin, HLINks, week-ending Friday, 29 January 2021. I can’t quite believe that it is the end of the month already!

In this week’s round up, we lead on the new Housing LIN briefing, following last year’s joint survey with the Workhome Project, on the state of our sector’s readiness for supporting staff and residents working from home during the first lockdowns.

And, on the technology front, the TAPPI Inquiry issued a call for examples of innovative practice. We are keen to hear from you how the use of technology has transformed how you operate, design and build new or retrofit existing homes and/or deliver better outcomes for your customers.

In this week’s HLINks, you can also take tour of other news and events on later life and independent living with regard to homes and communities, health and social care, design and technology, planning matters and more.

Check these out and register here to keep in touch with all our news alerts and other notifications of your choice, sent direct to your inbox. And remember you can also follow us via our Twitter feeds: @HousingLIN, @HousingLINews and @HLINConsult

Lastly, if you would like to talk to us about any matters highlighted in this week’s issue, share learning about your work and/or discuss how you can engage our highly regarded consultancy services to assist you, email ‘Jeremy talks’ at: info@housinglin.org.uk.

You can also listen to #Jeremytalks… here

Thanks for listening, stay connected and, above all, be safe during the lockdown.

In next week’s HLINks

And, in next week's news, we look forward to issuing a new Housing LIN Viewpoint by the LSE and other University partners on their work on what collaborative housing offers in a pandemic. We also publish a new guest blog on the work of Share and Care and their work on Homesharing and intergenerational living and, following his presentation at our Summit2020, you can listen to Motionspot’s Ed Warner being interviewed on the LLARC radio station.

Lastly, the Housing LIN would like to thank Willmott Dixon for their support in producing this newsletter.

Stay connected, stay well and, above all, be safe during this new lockdown.
