The document summarizes several upcoming changes to UK housing law under the Localism Bill and other acts. Key changes include:
1) Local authorities will have more flexibility to determine housing tenure and allocations policies, including offering 2-year fixed term tenancies.
2) A national home swap scheme will be established to help tenants exchange properties and support mobility.
3) Local authorities will be able to discharge their homelessness duties by offering private rented housing.
4) Reforms aim to help address overcrowding and encourage tenants to downsize through underoccupation incentives.
Murphy signed Out-of-Network Healthcare Billing Law in New JerseyJessica Parker
In a statement, Gov. Murphy said, “Today, we are closing the loophole and reigning in excessive out-of-network costs to prevent residents from receiving that ‘big surprise’ in their mailbox.” “At the same time, we are making health care more affordable by ensuring these costs are not transferred to consumers through increased health premiums.”

How to target your Discretionary Housing Payments wellPolicy in Practice
It's hard for local authorities to be sure that support is reaching the households that need help the most. We know that 9 in 10 applications for a Discretionary Housing Payment (DHP) are successful, yet only 1 in 5 households that need a DHP apply. We help local authorities carry out a full needs assessment, as recommended by the DWP, using housing benefit data to create insights that will make council's DHP funds go further.
In this webinar we looked at levels of financial resilience and the need for Discretionary Housing Payments. We were joined by Ellie Kershaw, London Borough of Tower Hamlets, who spoke about how they spend DHP money in line with their local priorities and how they're raising awareness and increasing referrals from those in need.

- reduce the time it takes staff to understand eligibility for a DHP

Transition Network Conference 2012 - Locality No Nonsense Guide to Localism -...Transition Network
Part of a Workshop held at the Transition Network UK Conference 2012 - The potential of Localism to unlock Transition, with Rob Hopkins, Philip Revell, Dave Chapman, and Frances Northrop
The UK government's localism agenda has, in just two years, completely rewritten how planning works in England and Wales. In many ways it is a double-edged sword, many of the tools it gives to communities remain untested. The rights to build, to bid, to challenge, Neighbourhood Planning, all offer organisations focused on intentional localisation and resilience building some powerful tools. But what are they, and how best to use them? This workshop will be chaired by Transition Network's Rob Hopkins, and will include Dave Chapman, Head of Social Action at Locality who is one of the leading authorities on localism, Frances Northrop from Transition Town Totnes who will speak about how they are using these powers in Totnes, and Philip Revell from Sustaining Dunbar, who are taking a similarly strategic approach and will talk about how this differs and Scotland and what can be learnt from there. Bring your questions and prepare to be equipped with new tools and insights.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
