An Update from Your Tenant Forum
With support from the Association, we have recently acquired the services of Empowering Communities to help us to progress the Forum and have developed an Action Plan to help us achieve the delivery of our current priorities and objectives by the end of March 2020.
Over recent months, we have achieved the following:
- NHA’s Senior Management Team have provided us with an overview of the workings of NHA departments.
- We have help redesign an online Tenant Satisfaction Survey and are currently completing home visits within different areas where the Association provides homes.
- NHA have carried out a mapping exercise of the local area and services providers, to determine if residents’ groups can be developed moving forward.
- We are currently reviewing the Tenant Forum & NHA’s staff training needs.
Over the coming months, we intend to also complete the following:
- Carry out a policy review and scrutiny/service improvement exercise.
- Set up a working group to organise a tenant conference for tenants and staff to attend.
- In conjunction with the Association, we intend to develop our new Tenant Participation Strategy for 2020 – 2023
