Going Digital - Living Better for Less with Technology-enabled Housing

This “Going Digital” web resource has been brought to you via the ADASS Housing Policy Network, the LGA and the Housing LIN, to provide essential information for professionals in social care, health and housing. It contains answers to key questions around digital technology – why is digital important, how does it support policy and commissioning objectives, what is the art of the possible/benefits of going digital and how do you make sure you’re making the right decisions, in the light of the digital switchover by December 2025.
