New and exciting HPA2 innovations highlighted in Locata’s 2018 webinars
Locata’s first two webinars of 2018 have focused on recent developments to HPA2 – our homelessness system that has been improved and upgraded to meet all the requirements of the Homelessness Reduction Act.
The new system is currently being rolled out to more than 100 local authorities. Locata is now more than halfway through training all councils using HPA2.
Webinars held on March 8 and February 8, 2018 were run by Peter Riley and Iain Silverton from Locata and viewed by homelessness officers from around the country.
The on-line demonstration highlighted the latest innovations from our development team to HPA2 and included modifications and adaptations suggested by the Trial Group of practitioners made up of 30 homelessness officers from 12 local authority housing schemes.
