Today we have a very special episode of Our House where we discuss the local housing approach that award winning social landlord, EastendHomes, prides itself on and why this approach benefits the communities they serve. We reflect on research about this from the London School of Economics and get four different perspectives on why the 'neighbourhood management' approach helps the community.

Our guests include Laura from the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion, part of the London School of Economics and Stephen from EastendHomes. We also welcome back Sheena, a local housing officer at EastendHomes and Forhana, a resident and board member of EastendHomes.

We begin the episode by talking about social value within social housing and how both residents and housing staff benefit from having a local housing officer. We then touch how a local housing approach serves diverse communities and offers value for money.

This episode brings the second series of Our House to a close. We hope you've enjoyed hearing the wonderful stories of various people who make up East London. If you liked this series, please rate it, follow us and share with a friend! We hope to see you again for a new series very soon.

Welcome back to Our House, a podcast brought to you by award winning social landlord, EastendHomes.

In our final episode of this series, Helen chats to some of the lovely people from the Holland Estate in Spitalfields. We start the episode by hearing from Tim Elliott, a project manager at the Holland Estate. He discusses how residents, like himself, transformed a play space for the young people in their area in partnership with EastendHomes. We then hear from Iyana and Mejubin, two young people living on the Holland Estate who use the play area every day. They tell us what they like about the space and why it is a place where they feel safe to have fun with their friends.

Thanks so much to you all for tuning into the second series of Our House. We've loved sharing so many special conversations with you and learning more about the amazing people that make up London's East End.
