Users Face Barriers Accessing Housing Information Online

According to the National Housing Federation, the number of people in need of social housing hit 3.8 million in 2020. That equates to 1.6m households.

There are many fantastic housing associations and council initiatives that support citizens and provide solutions to people in vulnerable situations. But often, information about housing services is only available online. That’s why information on housing websites must be accessible to all.

Why you Should Provide Equal Access to Online Information on Housing Websites

Support the Vulnerable
Everyone deserves to have a roof over their head and live in a home that is in good repair. But when websites are not inclusive, vulnerable citizens cannot access the information they need.
Promote Economic Growth
When tenants can live within their means, they boost the local economy by spending money on healthcare, education, transport, and other products and services in the local area.
Overcome Language Barriers
On-page translation and text-to-speech options make websites accessible for housing applicants who don’t speak or read English as a first language.
