One of the biggest tasks of Private Sector Housing teams is to manage the award and processing of renovation grants. UNI-form helps officers perform these tasks through such features as:
- Enquiry – UNI-form provides a standard set of forms for logging initial grant enquiries. These are linked into a workflow system, ensuring that enquiries are dealt with effectively
- Assessment – as part of the workflow, UNI-form includes a solution for scheduling assessment dates
- Inspections– all grant applications must be assessed using standard processes and inspections carried out in a consistent way. UNI-form provides a platform for achieving this
- Schedule of works – once the need for work is established, UNI-form provides a standard printed form to establish prices for the works from different contractors. All details about prices, deadlines and other key factors are recorded, ensuring the decision making process is transparent
- Payment – as a security feature, UNI-form only allows authorised users to sign off payments
- Reports – standard reports can be easily generated through templates within the UNI-form solution
Test of resources
A key determinant in the award of all grants is a test of resources. UNI-form includes standard tools for assessing tenants and owner occupiers including:
- Income (employed) – all details including employer contacts are recorded in a central, consistent way
- Income (self-employed) – relevant financial information is stored and managed
- Benefits – details of any benefits received are recorded
- Capital and Land – details on any other income, savings, or property is also stored
- Calculation – using built-in calculations based on the latest government figures, UNI-form enables instant calculation of grants, subject to applicable amounts and premiums. The software is updated whenever government legislation changes
Information about landlords is also recorded using the following screen: - Rent income – to assess the rights to grants of landlords, income from rent is recorded alongside projected income from rent if the proposed work iscompleted
