Call for applications for MHCLGs Social Housing Resident’s Panel

MHCLG have announced the opportunity for social housing tenants to join the Social Housing Resident’s Panel. The Panel’s purpose is to ensure that social housing residents have a direct vehicle to engage with government ministers and officials, to make sure that tenants voices, views and experiences inform social housing policy and delivery.

Within this opportunity residents on the panel will have the chance to provide feedback on government housing policies and proposals, share their lived experience and insights on housing issues and participate in discussions and research activities with government ministers and officials.

In terms of eligibility, the panel consists of social housing residents, including those who live in homes for social rent, affordable rent, and low-cost home ownership. New panel members will be selected to join existing panel members, to ensure the Panel is representative of different regions, ages, ethnicities and backgrounds

Interested residents can apply to join the panel by visiting the following link: https://forms.office.com/e/et8Z2Q3JKc

The closing date for applications is Sunday 7th September, 23:00

We’d like to encourage members to promote this with their tenants to ensure that Northern tenant’s voices are represented on the panel. It is especially important at such a crucial time for the sector, with both DHS and MEES reform, as well as the major ambitions of the government on building new social and affordable homes, that there are strong tenant voices to help support both agendas.
