Two individuals made their first steps on their housing journey with us this week. Moving into HIPS properties, a great opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge around managing a tenancy.

A small excerpt from some lovely feedback from a tenant who recently moved on: π
''Without the Horton team I really don't know where I would be. They picked me up and gave me the confidence to move forward with my life. Thanks to them i have my life back. ''
An individual working alongside our support and housing management teams at HIPS has recently started work supporting individuals experiencing their own challenges. Using their prior knowledge and progress to help others. What a fantastic step for them, congratulations!
ποΈ Recently an individual working alongside our team moved into one of HIPS supported accommodation units. this is after spending the last few months sofa surfing, prior to that living in unsuitable HMO accommodation. Now working towards their personal goals and aspirations ποΈ
More great feedback.
''I have been able to make my own decisions which has built my confidence in tackling issues that have in the past been daunting. Itβs nice knowing I have the choice of phone support or home visit''
At HIPS we value every bit of feedback.
''I have difficulty getting people to understand me. My Coach has taken time and explained everything to me and made me feel comfortable. Achieved so much in a short time. ''
Amazing day yesterday with @golaboxford#research team exploring #Phase2@KBOP_Kirklees Evaluation findings. Loved the #EvidenceSafari but really loved the passion, trust, affection, honesty & collaboration from our partnership. Huge thanks @huddsmission for the delicious lunch!

Tweet Part 2:
I helped my neighbour, who has a non-verbal daughter like me. Through what I had learnt from engaging with KBOP and Horton Housing, I managed to get a Β£700 grant and a new cooker for my neighbour to help her buy aids to support her non-verbal autistic daughter.
