With Universal Credit and welfare reform top of
everyone’s agenda, organisations are looking for solutions to help manage the
transition and encourage the hundreds of thousands of people who will be
affected towards digital self-serve options. DWP funding helped develop a new
website service - www.letshelpyou.co.uk - to enable tenants to help themselves and
move to more affordable accommodation in the private rental sector. The LetsHelpYou service was piloted across
the five West Yorkshire local authorities in February 2012 and now has a
network of over 20 local authorities, with more in the pipeline. Over 16,000
tenants have registered; there are over 1,700 registered landlords, and to date
in excess of 4,000 properties have been uploaded and advertised through the
service. Read more on the Digital by Default website.
