Are you a tenant of social housing?
Do you want to influence national policies that affect social housing tenants?
Then why not think about applying to be on the new National Tenant Council?
The National Tenant Voice is a new organisation for tenants of housing associations, housing co-ops and local authorities (including ALMOs) in England. It is being set up to give tenants a voice, influence and expertise at national level.
The Government's aim is for tenants to have a greater influence over the services they receive. It is supporting the setting up of the National Tenant Voice to help achieve this.
Vision and purpose;
The National Tenant Voice will enable tenants to influence national policy by engaging with the Government and other bodies (including the new social housing regulator – the Tenant Services Authority). It will be accountable to tenants, and aims to be inspirational and dynamic, reflecting the views of tenants sought through consultation and research. It will celebrate the diversity of tenants and communities.
At the heart of National Tenant Voice will be a National Tenant Council of fifty tenants that will meet to debate and discuss key housing policy issues. Twenty-four of the tenants on the National Tenant council will be nominated by existing tenants' organisations.
The remaining twenty-six will be recruited. The web-site link on this page tells you how you can apply for one of these twenty-six places.
