Do you have a Housing Story?

Housing is about people and whenever groups of “housing” people get together – team meetings, seminars, leaving parties, stories about our clients and our colleagues are told. The stories may be funny, sad or dramatic, but they will always demonstrate what a diverse and interesting world we occupy in “social” housing.

I’ve started to collect the stories that I have been told, and hope that the Chartered Institute of Housing and the National Federation of Housing Associations will agree a way that we can use them to promote our business.

Here's a story that has recently been sent to us:

 

One of my scheme managers found a distressed customer whose budgie had just died. Being an enterprising sort of officer she tried resuscitating it and failed. She then remembered that George next door was on oxygen so took it round to give it a quick blast. The budgie revived, flapping its wings. This so surprised the scheme manager that she dropped it, which killed it.!!!!!!!!

George has been sworn to silence.

                                                                                                                         

 

If you have a story that you would like to share that could be used in this way please e-mail your stories to jan@housingstories.co.uk and let’s tell the world what a great place the housing world really is!

If you find a story you previously sent me and are happy to have your name next to the story, then please let me know.

In addition, we will develop this web site www.housingstories.co.uk making the stories available to a wider audience.
