Managing Anti-Social Behaviour
Anti-social behaviour (ASB) is a significant challenge for Community Housing Providers in sustaining tenancies and maintaining good neighbour policies. We will explore good practice for managing anti-social behaviour, investigate resources available through the toolkit and, reflect on and explore how you manage difficult situations.
Managing Hoarding and Squalor
As a Community Housing professional, you will respond to tenants who are identified as hoarders and may live in squalor. It is a complex mental health condition that can affect the person, their family and neighbours.
Mental Health Awareness
Community Housing plays an important role in the housing of people experiencing mental ill health and/or mental distress. CHIA NSW and the Mental Health Coordinating Council have together developed a mental health awareness program. This program has been fully funded by the NSW Ministry of Health.
