What is a tenants' and residents' group?

A tenants' and residents' group is an organisation formed by local people in an area of Northwards housing. It is run by volunteers and must be open to everyone who lives in the area it covers.

The group may concentrate only on local housing issues, or it could get involved in wider housing policies that affect everyone in North Manchester. It could work just on housing, or it could be involved in a whole range of community issues. To get involved in the housing service, and to qualify for funding, a group must be officially 'recognised' by Northwards Housing.

Healthy community

An active and responsible group plays a vital role in building and sustaining a healthy community. It makes sure that local housing staff provide the services local people want. And by getting involved in decisions about wider housing policies, it can help shape the housing service for all our tenants.

We help tenants set up, and run tenant and resident groups. Then we provide advice, support and training as well as grant funding. Contact us online or phone Northwards on 03000 123 123.
