Housing Risk Guide: Social Media Policy and Guidelines

  • August 1, 2025

Social media is an essential communication tool, but it also presents risks when misused. These guidelines help housing agency employees navigate online platforms safely and responsibly, both in personal and professional contexts.

What you'll learn

  • Best practices for using social media personally and professionally
  • How to protect confidential information and uphold agency values
  • Enforcement policies, reporting procedures, and legal protections

Why this matters

A personal post can affect your professional reputation and reflect on your housing agency. Without a clear policy, agencies face privacy risks, reputational harm, and potential legal issues. By educating staff and setting boundaries, housing organizations can maintain professionalism, protect sensitive information, and build trust with residents and the public.
