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. With the digital switchover now extended to the end of January 2027, each section also includes useful information and signposts to relevant tools, resources and case studies to aid your learning and digital awareness.

And if you found these pages of interest, check out the TAPPI reports and resultant principles, detailing the inquiry held, coproduced research and testing the Housing LIN has undertaken with partners across six sites in England, Scotland and Wales to ensure the sector is prepared for Technology and our Ageing Population.
