This document discusses the potential of open data for social housing organizations. It begins by explaining how social policy has historically focused on either individual households in poverty or deprived areas, but not both together. The document then outlines how housing organizations currently collect tenant and asset information, but often consider areas or households separately rather than together. It proposes taking an open data approach using open source software and open data sources to map tenants and understand their contexts. The key benefits outlined are gaining control of own data, better understanding social return on investment, relating tenant and area-based initiatives, making more evidence-based investment decisions, and early warnings of area problems - all at a lower cost through shared platforms and analysis.

1) The document provides an overview of research on the impact of the Empty Homes Community Grants Programme in the North East and Yorkshire and Humberside regions of England.
2) The programme provided £50 million in funding for community-led, non-registered housing providers to purchase and renovate empty homes between 2011-2015. Over 4,000 homes were brought back into use across the UK.
3) In the Yorkshire and Humberside and North East regions, the funding supported existing community groups and attracted new entrants, addressing gaps and building a peer support network. The funding had wider social and economic impacts through employment, training, and community development.
Este documento é uma mensagem da Natureza para a humanidade. A Natureza nos dá vida e beleza, mas estamos devolvendo a ela a morte através da degradação ambiental. Precisamos respeitar a Natureza e as criaturas vivas que ela nos oferece, para que possamos deixar um legado sustentável para as futuras gerações. Compartilhem esta mensagem para conscientizar as pessoas sobre a importância de proteger o meio ambiente.
The document outlines the services and projects of Fresh Horizons, an integrated business development trust operating in Kirklees and Calderdale. Fresh Horizons refurbishes empty homes, provides skills development and job training programs, operates community facilities, and engages in community research and regeneration activities. They utilize a flexible investment model, recycling loans and grants, and take a cluster-based approach by linking housing projects to wider regeneration efforts. Examples are provided of a neighborhood in Sheepridge that was improved through their work.
The document discusses the results of a survey that ranked the top 10 happiest cities in the world. The number one city was Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, known for its annual Carnaval festival and images of dancing into the dusk. Other top cities included Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, known for their association with the popular brand of Australia. Amsterdam made the list due to its perception as a city where people are often under the influence of marijuana. The document examines why certain cities are viewed as happy places and notes that Chinese cities did not make the top 10.

Hill Holt Wood is an ancient woodland in the 21st century that uses sustainable practices like resource perpetuation and benefit stacking. It qualitatively manages the woodland for a worthy contribution rather than just profit. The woodland considers how its actions will affect others now and in the future, seeking a balance between exploitation, protection, and activating mutual benefits. Its goal is to perpetuate the woodland's resources rather than just accumulate profits. A judge praised Hill Holt Wood for innovating in every aspect of its sustainable enterprise and being a national model of best practice.
