Whitechapel Team become PRS Champions for Crisis

The Whitechapel Centre's Street Resettlement Team has been chosen by Crisis to be one of their first Private Renting Champions.

This is due to the excellent results that the team have achieved since it first started, their nominated area of expertise for this scheme being Partnership Working.  

The team were picked as they are "Focused on finding solutions to overcome any difficulties, and are keen to share their experiences and best practise. They have had a good level of success on their own private rented sector access scheme".

A Private Renting Champion will be a point of contact for advice and assistance to other schemes, on their nominated area of expertise.

Any other agencies or projects will contact our team for advice on partnership building with those in the private rental sector.

The Street Resettlement Scheme, which has now been running successfully for two years, has seen an increase both in those using it, and growth internally due to the huge demand for services.

In their new role they may also be asked to attend conferences/events organised by Crisis to give short presentations. They will also provide contact details for the Crisis website, and respond to other schemes’ enquiries on advice and assistance on their area of expertise.

Team manager Paul said "This down to the dedication and hard work of the team, Mandie, Margi, Carl, Gary and Russell, and all of us here at The Whitechapel are extremely proud of the results that they have achieved".
