Direct Payment Pilot Launches IT Scheme

A Scottish landlord piloting the direct payment of benefit to tenants has launched a scheme to provide IT access and computer training in community centres.  Edinburgh-based Dunedin Canmore is using nearly £200,000 of Scottish government funding to set up a scheme called Positive Pathways. Under the scheme, the 5,000-home association will work with community organisations to provide computer access and support to people who don’t have the digital skills to claim benefits or look for jobs online.  Read more on Inside Housing.
