Diverse Voices: Transforming Tenant Influence in Social Housing

New Research Project - Exploring innovative ways to improve the involvement and influence of tenants from ethnic minority backgrounds in the decision-making processes of social housing providers

Kai Jackson, a Tpas Associate and involved tenant, launched her research project aimed at promoting tenant diversity and inclusion within the sector. The project, sponsored by Tpas and bolstered by academic support from the UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (CaCHE), seeks to enhance the participation of tenants from ethnic minority backgrounds in landlords' influencing structures for a more representative and diverse community.

Wanted: Housing Staff and Ethnic Minority Tenants for Focus Groups

The survey phase of Kai Jackson’s (Tpas Associate and involved tenant) research study designed to understand the barriers faced by people from ethnic minority backgrounds when it comes to engagement, is now complete. Thank you to all those who took part.

We are now moving into the second phase of the study and are looking for people to take part in our Focus Groups. The Focus Groups will be relaxed and informal, exploring in more detail the participation of tenants from ethnic minority backgrounds in landlords' influencing structures.

The Focus Groups will be held online via Zoom on the following dates.
