Housing of the Future

The Council House of the Future Project (CHOTF) aims to bring the benefits of digital to people living in social housing within Leeds to improve outcomes across the board.
The first step is to ensure our properties have good connectivity - be it ultra-fast fibre, 5G or LoRaWAN. We can then use a variety of sensors to better manage council owned properties and also support tenants to better manage their health, and remain in their homes for longer as appropriate.
The data supplied by these sensors can be analysed and trends identified. This can be used by senior leaders within the Council, CCG and / or Public Health to make decisions about where to undertake pro-active maintenance, and where resources need to be prioritised to ensure residents are supported to stay healthy, or manage ongoing conditions.
