Our five stage approach

• Create a buzz
• Bring people together
• Build momentum
• Make things happen

Looking for clues
• Around 5000 long term empty homes
• 90% are privately owned
• The majority don’t look like “empty homes”.

How we work
• The council writes to owners of empty homes
• Owners get in touch - we meet them at their
property
• We provide a detailed report – outlining all
their options
• Once they’ve decided what to do – we help
them to bring their home back into use
![Page 16: Rob Greenland @TheSocBiz @EmptyHomesDoc · 2019-06-18 · Rob Greenland @TheSocBiz @EmptyHomesDoc. What I’d like to talk about • A bit about me and our social enterprise • How](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042218/5ec4aa8e0bf885670917a289/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Who we work with
• Anyone with an empty home, including….– People who have inherited a home
– People whose circumstances have changed
– Older people moving into residential care
– Owners of rental properties where things have
gone wrong

Seven years empty

Ten years empty
![Page 23: Rob Greenland @TheSocBiz @EmptyHomesDoc · 2019-06-18 · Rob Greenland @TheSocBiz @EmptyHomesDoc. What I’d like to talk about • A bit about me and our social enterprise • How](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042218/5ec4aa8e0bf885670917a289/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How we make a difference
• We are problem-solvers – and don’t give up!• We work collaboratively – with the council,
local businesses, family & friends.
• We consistently make the social case for
sorting out empty homes
• Half a dozen homes we’ve worked on have been sold to social enterprises
![Page 24: Rob Greenland @TheSocBiz @EmptyHomesDoc · 2019-06-18 · Rob Greenland @TheSocBiz @EmptyHomesDoc. What I’d like to talk about • A bit about me and our social enterprise • How](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042218/5ec4aa8e0bf885670917a289/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Some of the challenges we face
• It can be hard sorting out complex problems!
• Working with a wide range of people and
organisations isn’t always easy• Money is tight – we’ve worked on twice as
many homes with the same £100k budget
• There are bigger issues at play – rising
inequality, a broken housing market.

A few final reflections
• The value of asking “Why are things like this? and “What’s really going on here?”
• The value of not being “an expert”.
• As local people, you’re well placed to act – and to
invite others to work with you.
• Ask not what your council can do for you…
• The importance of being socially enterprising, as well
as being a social enterprise.
