Objectives

Our mission is to leverage collaborative technology for social good. HomePointr providers homeless and vulnerable groups with the means to access suitable housing options. We eliminate the affordable housing opportunities gap by matching them from referral agencies with housing providers via our interactive online platform.

 

The objectives for the enterprise are outlined below:

  • Creating an online platform that facilitates direct communication on vulnerable groups housing problems between referral agencies and housing providers;
  • Streamlining how housing applicants connects with housing providers that re-house them;
  • Improving access to suitable housing opportunities across the entire service area, especially for people who need housing support and homeless populations
  • Increasing access to suitable and appropriate support for homelessness prevention and/or tenancy sustainment;
  • Contributing positively to minimising housing providers' rental loss and reduce cost of delayed discharged for referral agencies;
  • Establishing a market presence that assures short-term and long-term profitability, growth and success;
  • Contributing positively to our communities and our environment; and
  • Coordinating resources and integrating decision making

Activities

HomePointr bridges this information and collaborative technology gap so that referral agencies helping homeless and vulnerable groups find suitable housing options have real-time housing opportunities in Scotland using collaborative technology.

 

HomePointr is a web-based platform where referral agencies are matched with housing providers. HomePointr serves as the connection between landlords in the housing sector for increasing demand for their housing stocks and referral agencies for reducing delay discharged. Both groups would benefit. Housing providers list their housing opportunities on the platform and referral agencies quickly search, find and make expression of interest; and potentially reduce rent loss to low demand properties.
