Four national tenant organisations have been given £50,000 from the government to look into ways of continuing to operate a national tenant council. Work to explore options will be called the New Dawn project and include members of the 50-strong National Tenant Voice Council along with boards and membership from the four tenant organisations. A national tenant council was established as part of the £1 million National Tenants Voice, which was set up by the previous government in January but abolished soon after the new government formed in May. The Tenants and Residents Organisations of England, National Federation of Tenant Management Organisations, Confederation of Co-operative Housing and the Tenant Participation Advisory Service asked housing minister Grant Shapps for funding to see how it could continue in some form. The work will also look into possible funding sources. Read more on Inside Housing.
