Michael has officially launched Sevenoaks District Council\u2019s new Super-HERO service in a ceremony at the Housing Forum.<\/p>\n
The Sevenoaks District Council\u2019s current Housing, Energy and Retraining Options (HERO) service has received national recognition for its work.\u00a0 According to the Council, its HERO service has helped thousands of people with issues relating to housing, debt, mortgage and further education and employment options.<\/p>\n
Super-HERO extends the decade-old HERO service to offer a more holistic approach to providing support.\u00a0 It will help people to live independently in their own homes, offering small home adaptations such as grab-rails and stair lifts to more technologically-based devices such as remote health monitors.<\/p>\n
HERO officers will now work closely with GPs and provide relief such as a maternity package covering benefits, housing and debt service to vulnerable parents and people fleeing domestic violence.<\/p>\n
Michael awarded the Council\u2019s HERO officers with certificates as a mark of their achievement.<\/p>\n
He said: \u2018I\u2019m pleased that HERO has evolved into a service that will now look beyond just housing, with health at its core.\u00a0 I refer hundreds of my constituents to Sevenoaks District Council services every year, and I see at first-hand the commitment and professionalism of its officers.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
