Gain knowledge and learn how to assist clients and families making decisions on housing choices. With an increasing aging population more of us are required to assist clients & their families make decisions regarding housing choices. Decisions regarding remaining at home or seeking to move into residential care are difficult and require support and informed decision making.

As welfare reform and changes to the Social Fund have started to take effect, Housing Rights has found that affordability is consistently one of the top issues encountered by clients. Nevin Economic Research Institute (NERI) has found that both the social and private rented sectors are at risk of poverty after housing costs are met, this is particularly the case for low income households in the private rented sector, who face a particularly high housing cost burden and a high risk of poverty.

Taking on the responsibility of a rental property for the first time can be a daunting experience, this course hopes to assist participants by building their knowledge of support and protections available to them ahead of their new rental agreement.
