Coventry City Council
Consolidating HMOs, delivering a better standard and savings
How we helped Coventry City Council
Coventry City Council wanted to consolidate their HMOs with a small number of providers, exit hotels, hostels and B&Bs, and improve the overall quality of the accommodation provided.
Challenge
Coventry City Council were accommodating residents in hostels and B&Bs but wanted to move them into better quality and lower cost accommodation. They also recognised the potential risks from bringing together people from different backgrounds and challenging situations, so wanted some support and supervision. This all took place alongside the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic and desire by the government to get everyone off the streets.
Solution
As of 1 July 2020, we have provided 120 quality shared accommodation units within the Council’s timeframe, with two highly experienced property managers checking our homes and residents daily throughout the Covid-19 crisis. Coventry City Council is now saving over 55% compared to previous accommodation.
