Find your Housing Officer

What a housing officer does, who your local housing officer is and how to contact them.

What a housing officer does

We have housing officers who:

• help council tenants understand what's expected of them as a tenant
• talk to tenants at their pre-tenancy assessments and six weekly new tenant visits about what to expect from the council
• make sure council properties are looked after and maintained
• make sure tenants can get the right support if they have learning difficulties or physical or mental health issues 
• signpost tenants to services so that they can get support if they are in debt and cost of living support
• take enforcement action against tenants involved in anti-social behaviour or in breach of their tenancy conditions
• work with other services such as the police, social services and other statutory and non-statutory services to make sure tenants are safe and supported
• work with tenants to set up a tenants and residents association and apply for funding for projects to improve their community
