Where the future of social housing meets the power of AI

The social housing sector is at a turning point. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant concept — it’s already reshaping how services are designed, delivered, and experienced by residents and professionals alike. But with this transformation comes both opportunity and uncertainty.

That’s why we created socialhousing.ai — to help the sector understand, navigate, and benefit from the AI revolution through clear guidance, real-world examples, and accessible insights.

🧭 Our Mission

We believe AI has the potential to solve real problems — but only if the sector is equipped to use it confidently and responsibly.

Our mission is to:

• Educate: Share practical, plain-English content on what AI is, how it works, and how it can support social housing.
• Empower: Help teams adopt AI in meaningful ways across maintenance, tenant engagement, resource planning, compliance, HR, finance, development, and more.
• Connect: Build a collaborative space where people across the sector can share knowledge, case studies, and lessons learned.

📈 Why Now?

The sector is under pressure:

• Tighter budgets
• Rising resident expectations
• New regulatory demands
• The need for smarter, more responsive services

AI can help. For example:

• Predictive maintenance to reduce costs and improve property conditions
• Automated tenant engagement to speed up support
• Smarter resource planning to do more with less
• Real-time compliance tools that enhance safety and transparency

But there are challenges too — around data, ethics, and implementation. That’s why we focus on practical, grounded advice, backed by experience and sector knowledge.

👥 Who It’s For

• Housing association and local authority leaders planning for the future
• Operational teams in maintenance, management, finance, HR, development
