The introduction of Awaab’s Law marks a pivotal shift in the UK social housing sector, mandating rapid response to health hazards such as damp and mould. With strict timelines for investigation, repair, and tenant communication, housing providers must modernise their operational infrastructure.
Most social housing providers operate within complex digital environments, often built around a mix of housing management systems (HMS), repairs platforms, spreadsheets and contractor portals. These systems often create data silos, manual workarounds, and fragmented communication, all of which hinder the ability to respond swiftly when tenant health is at risk.
The true challenge posed by Awaab’s Law is not just operational, it’s cultural. It demands a sector-wide shift from reactive problem-solving to proactive risk management. Rather than waiting for complaints, or responding only when issues escalate, providers must embed early detection, continuous monitoring, and rapid, documented intervention into their everyday operations. This transformation cannot be achieved through mindset alone. It requires a fundamental reconfiguration of the technological infrastructure that underpins housing services.
This is where the greatest risk lies. Disconnected systems, and poor data, can result in missed hazard reports, delayed responses, poor visibility and ultimately, non-compliance. With enforcement beginning in October 2025 with strict 24-hour repair mandates for emergency hazards, housing providers must act decisively to modernise their digital foundations.
