February 2009
We’re on the hunt this month for that most pernicious of predators – the loan shark. Social landlords across the UK are biting back, and we go deep-sea fishing with a pair of shark-hunters from Sheffield Homes who’re helping tenants to seize control of their personal finances and close the door on the illegal moneylenders. 24housing is a great forum for sharing best practice. As well as our cover feature, we have an Around the Houses Beat the Squeeze special, giving you a round-up of some of the best financial inclusion schemes currently in operation around the country.
As well as some pretty tough topics this Valentine’s month, you’ll find our usual mix of topical, relevant and irreverent news, views and features. Love 24housing? Share the joy and spread the news.
Missed issue 7? You can now access some of our January features online. Our exclusive Banking of Social Housing feature is available to all, but if you’re a subscriber, you have full access to the 24housing online archives.
