Join next week's Housing Management forum- free for SFHA members!
At next week's SFHA Housing Management and Community Investment Forum (Tuesday 10 February 10AM-11:30AM) there's a varied programme featuring how housing management staff can support tenants.
Firstly the Forum will hear from the Federation of Local Housing Associations in Renfrewshire (FLAIR) network about their pledge to provide practical support to tenants with Motor Neuron Disease.
There will also be a presentation from Rowan Alba, a specialist homelessness charity, about vicarious trauma training in the housing sector.
Members can book their space at Tuesday's Forum for free- and it also presents an opportunity for staff, in housing management and community investment roles or otherwise, to ask questions of colleagues across the sector on all things housing management.
Further details of Tuesday's programme are below.
