The government has announced £250,000 to help get social housing tenants involved in the management of their homes.
According to Inside Housing:
Stephen Williams, communities minister, announced the investment which will see tenants offered training opportunities to get involved in the management of neighbourhoods.
The funding will be provided to the Tenant Participation Advisory Service (TPAS) and Trafford Hall – a charity which offers training to those living in low-income areas in the UK.
Mr Williams said: ‘People care about their neighbourhoods and want a say in how they evolve.
‘That’s why we are providing a further £250,000 in funding, so more tenants will be able to gain a range of skills, supporting them in the world of work and beyond.
‘It is vital that tenants take up the opportunities available to them to take power back from their landlords, and take control over their own homes and to make the changes they want to see.’
