From Inside Housing
A lack of digital access is increasingly synonymous with a lack of access to opportunities, services and social connections. Digital poverty is associated with poorer health outcomes, social exclusion, less access to jobs and education, and more. Furthermore, it is those who are already disadvantaged who are most likely to be affected. This means digital poverty serves to further wider the social inequality gap. Many of those experiencing digital poverty will be living in social housing. If landlords are to support their residents to live the best possible life, then it follows that digital poverty must be an issue with which social housing providers grapple. In this virtual pop-up lab for Inside Housing Innovation Week, we will draw on real examples to explore how social landlords might be able to play a role in addressing digital poverty. What contributions might social housing providers most valuably make here? How can interventions best be delivered? What are the possible obstacles? Register for this pop-up lab to learn more. |
