Providing cost-neutral furnished tenancies using Furniture Flex

Providing essential furniture and appliances can help residents settle into their homes and sustain their tenancies. But how can housing associations voluntarily offer this support while managing the costs and practicalities?   

Join the NHF and End Furniture Poverty to explore Furniture Flex, a model designed to help landlords provide furnished tenancies on a cost-neutral basis. We’ll look at how the model works, how schemes can be funded through eligible service charges, and what members need to consider when setting up and managing provision. 
 
Alongside End Furniture Poverty, housing associations delivering furnished tenancies will share their experience, including the challenges they have encountered and lessons learned. 
 
The webinar will cover: 

• How Furniture Flex works, including funding and eligibility. 
  Practical considerations for setting up a scheme, offering residents choice and managing repairs and replacements. 
• Experiences from housing associations already providing furnished tenancies. 
• The guidance and support available from End Furniture Poverty.
