When Jimmy* was referred to his third advice agency after calling up yet another number, he gave up even though the local Council was threatening eviction. It was just too much; all this stress being sent from pillar to post. At the food-bank, he found someone (a community navigator) by chance who finally understood, set up an appointment with a housing lawyer and passed on the details he had told her, so he did not have to relive what happened to him yet again.
Access to social justice relies on the ability to receive timely legal support that is tailored to the needs of the individual. Luckily, community navigators who operate out of food-banks and other community hubs are providing this crucial service, alleviating the chaos of homelessness by identifying, triaging, and getting people the right help at the right time. Yet they lack a way of accurately recording this information when they are mobile or sharing this with other partner organisations.
Our collaborative project, working with our members Greater Manchester Law Centre (GMLC) and their partners, will combine the hyper-local know-how of GMLC with the national infrastructure of LCN. With this funding, we plan to co-design the ?front-end? of our enquiry management system, working closely with GMLC, their partners and people affected by homelessness and housing insecurity, to ensure the solution is usable, useful, and valuable. This will build on work we have already done helping advice charities better manage enquiries, ensuring distributed teams can keep track of an individual?s enquiry across different channels. We have scanned the market and have plans to use off-the-shelf tech (survey software) to build an MVP that can be tested and refined, before developing the referral channel using no-code and low code tech designed so that it can speak to our robust enquiry management system via APIs. If the MVP is successful, as a national body, we have the infrastructure to scale and in so doing, improve the data being collected about homelessness and related social welfare issues across UK.
