As part of Rooftop Housing Group's housing management we carry out regular property MOT's to make sure that the right people are living in our properties.
We work with other social landlords and statutory agencies to detect fraud where the law requires it or where information sharing protocols are in place.
This collaboration has allowed us to join two new groups; the Mercian Tenancy Fraud Forum and The Gloucestershire Tenancy Fraud Forum. As part of these groups we share experience and knowledge to help find the best possible way to stop fraud happening.
Housing tenancy fraud is not a victimless crime – it stops homes being let to those in need, it costs money, and stops new homes being built... no one wins.
If you see or hear anything suspicious, please get in touch, We need you to help us to stamp it out.
What we are doing to tackle tenancy fraud
Young Peoples Service
We offer support for young people aged between 16 and 25 years, providing specialist housing, support and advice
Who we are
We offer support for young people aged between 16 and 25 years, providing specialist housing, support and advice, as well as opportunities for development and learning, with the aim of enabling young people to lead an independent life.
We provide temporary housing for young people across Gloucestershire and Worcestershire.
This can provide a vital respite for a young person who is homeless, in need of guidance and security, or even escaping an abusive situation.

Support and Services
We provide temporary housing for up to 101 young people in one of our 10 schemes. This can provide a vital respite for a young person who is homeless, in need of guidance and security, or even escaping an abusive situation.
We offer temporary accommodation for homeless young people, which is made up of a range of rooms in hostels, self-contained partially furnished flats and bedsits. To be eligible for a place, you must have a need for support and need accommodation.
Support and Services
We are here to provide support and guidance – not to lecture. Our aim is for you to become optimistic about your future, and for you to develop a plan for how to make this happen.
When you leave us, our aim is that you will:
Understand your rights and responsibilities
How to manage money and live on a budget
Know how to lead a healthy lifestyle
Develop skills to live independently
Be part of your community
Be able to make life choices
Be actively developing and achieving
Be empowered with the knowledge to stay safe
Know how to access services and facilities
Preparation
for Independence?
Preparation for Independence (PFI) is a programme undertaken by all residents to build a 360 skill set that provides each young person with the ability to live independently. Many of the young people who secure a place within Young People Service have not been able to experience an environment that provides this learning & that is where Rooftop is different.
