Why does it matter for RSLs & HAs?• Third of workless households live in social housing• Proportion of social tenant householders in paid employment fell from
47% to 32% 1981 to 2006• 80% of new housing association tenants aged 16-24 are without work• Well placed to play key role in tackling worklessness by promoting
opportunity, raising aspirations and addressing skills gaps• Can offer affordable decent settled homes providing a platform from which
people can build their lives and have long relationships, based on trust, with tenants, families and communities
• Many are providers of more specialist skills and employment related services and can directly assist tenants/residents to overcome personal barriers to work
