General Needs Settling-in Visit Case Management
To Learn More About General Needs Settling-in Visit Case Management
What is General Needs Settling-in Visit Case Management?
A General Needs Settling-in Visit case covers the first post-sign-up visit to a new general-needs tenant, usually around six weeks after the tenancy starts. The visit confirms that the new resident has settled (keys, utilities, benefits, furniture), picks up early tenancy-sustainment risks (arrears, isolation, overcrowding), flags any hidden safeguarding or ASB issues from the new neighbourhood, and answers any questions the resident did not have the confidence to raise on sign-up day.
General Needs Settling-in Visit — End-to-End Workflow
- Logged — settling-in visit generated automatically from tenancy start; one case per new tenant in Propsys360.
- Acknowledged — resident contacted with preferred slot; sign-up artefacts (ID, tenancy agreement, welcome pack) pulled onto the case.
- Investigated — officer visits, confirms settled status, picks up support or defect issues, updates the household record where needed.
- Actioned — linked cases raised — repairs, welfare benefits, furniture support, safeguarding — with owners and due dates.
- Resolved — visit completed; next annual visit scheduled automatically; resident informed of any referrals.
- Closed and learned — case closed; first-year tenancy-sustainment patterns inform sign-up and allocations policy.
General Needs Settling-in Visit Case Management in Propsys360
- One record, one version of the truth — every General Needs Settling-in Visit case lives in a single record in the Propsys360 Case Management module, built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, replacing parallel spreadsheets, shared inboxes and chased email threads
- Linked to the Case Management ecosystem — Tenancy Management for the tenancy, Account Creation for sign-up artefacts, Welfare Benefit Referral for support, and Repairs for any defects raised — so the general needs settling-in visit context is visible without hunting across systems
- Stage-driven workflow — new tenant visited, settled status confirmed and support referrals placed — with due dates, reminders and automated escalation when timescales slip
- Every interaction on one timeline — calls, emails, SMS, portal messages, site visits, photos and documents attached to the same case record
- Reporting and oversight — live dashboards by team, patch, officer and case age; regulator-ready evidence on demand for the Regulator of Social Housing and Housing Ombudsman
- Resident-facing self-service — residents can raise, update and track their general needs settling-in visit case through the Customer Portal, cutting inbound calls and speeding resolution
- Microsoft-native and secure — single sign-on, role-based access, UK-hosted data, full audit trail; works where your teams already work, in Outlook, Teams and the Dynamics 365 app
