Development question 

Our goal is to ensure that our service users are re-housed successfully and sustainably. With this in mind, can we develop a contextual search tool that takes into account individual behaviour and user-needs. We want this platform to guide users to make suitable choices about their rehousing options. We want to increase access to information about rehousing chances for different property types and areas, and so guide service users to make informed choices when bidding for properties. This search tool may also show historical trends (going back 3 years).

Outcomes

Simplified Tiles by Tom Forth is being developed into a proof of concept.
