Case Study - Pathways To Accessible Housing CD-ROM

Local Authorities need to estimate well in advance to plan how to satisfy housing needs.

Outline: Government both local and national have difficulty planning for and meeting demand for accessible housing.

Brief: Fresh Interactive were approached by a consortium including The Housing Corporation, Papworth Trust and Habinteg Housing Association to produce a distributable database and interface to help Local Authorities plan their accessible housing needs.

Approach: We produced a CD ROM and designed and developed the content - a self-installing database package. This was designed to take the user by stages through the information gathering process. The populated database could then be analysed and high-level management reports generated automatically.

Result: Local authorities have a tool for planning housing need up to five years in advance, including budgetary analysis.
