Session 9: Running your residents’ association

This event is part of a nine-session training series designed to help social housing residents understand their rights, how to stand up for them, and get better treatment and services from landlords.

A residents’ association is a group of people living in the same area who come together to address local issues and improve their community. Members can include tenants, shared owners, leaseholders, and homeowners. This session will provide background and explain the value of residents’ associations.

• What a residents’ association is
• The benefits of forming one
• Whether setting one up is feasible in your area
• The support you can expect from your landlord
• The roles and responsibilities of committee members, including how to handle challenging situations
• Practical next steps to get started

The session will include a mix of presentations and group discussions. We may use breakou rooms, and we’ll let you know at the start if that’s the case. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to share your experiences, ask questions, and connect with others. Session is open to all social housing residents. Closed captions will be enabled.
