Our Digital First Approach was first introduced in April 2014. We adopted this approach with the aim of helping to combat the effects of Welfare Reform on both customers and Halton Housing.
"I had worries about using the internet and was especially worried about online security – I didn’t want anyone getting hold of my details or personal information. But Halton Housing have been so helpful, everything’s been explained to me in one-to-one sessions and it’s given me the confidence to get online. They’ve provided me with a free tablet and data and I’m so grateful for the opportunity I’ve been given."
"I like that I no longer have to waste time on the phone and can report any problems on the Customer App, whenever I want – it’s so quick and much easier than I thought it would be."
"I have family in South Africa and its expensive to call his customer l, now I’m online, we’re emailing lots. They’ve already sent me photos of new additions to the family and let me know what they’ve been up to – I’m absolutely thrilled!"
