Plentific and Good Place Lettings partner to support people facing homelessness
Ben Rayner, director at Good Place Lettings, said: “Plentific gives us that foundation so we can stay focused on people, not process."
Plentific will support a joint venture with ethical estate agent Good Place Lettings to help end homelessness in partnership with Crisis.
The partnership aims to add social value across the housing sector.
Cem Savas, CEO at Plentific, said: “At Plentific, we believe technology should work for everyone.
“We are driven to support those doing work that matters, tackling housing inequality. Plentific is proud to be supporting Good Place Lettings free of charge, as part of our social value commitment.
“Good Place Lettings is doing something the housing sector needs more of.”
Savas added: “At Plentific, we talk a lot about building stronger communities through better property operations.
“Supporting Good Place Lettings is what that looks like in practice.
“We’re delighted to support and offer our platform and help this ethical estate agency to scale without losing sight of what drives them.”
Ben Rayner, director at Good Place Lettings, said: “As we scale, we need operations that can keep pace without losing what makes us different.
“Plentific gives us that foundation so we can stay focused on people, not process.
“What’s striking about the Good Place Lettings model is that it allows us to help and support people experiencing homelessness and on low incomes.”
Rayner added: “But to be a sustainable social enterprise, we need to work right across the residential market and are actively seeking landlords letting property at the market rate.
“The major difference is that the fees you pay go towards something positive.”
Matt Downie, CEO at Crisis, said: “It’s fantastic to see housing technology specialists Plentific supporting Good Place Lettings and our Venture Studio, as we work together to break down the barriers that have left too many people without a settled home.
“Good Place Lettings is a truly exciting initiative.
“It shows that the private rented sector can and should be a place where people on low incomes, or facing homelessness, can build a life with a safe and secure home as the foundation.”
