Research Heralds New Era in Resident Empowerment

Rewarding tenants who participate in resident involvement schemes results in a greater level of engagement, according to research. A study commissioned by the Hyde Group and Housing Quality Network also found large landlords are increasingly seeing resident involvement as necessary to justify public expenditure on their programmes. The study was led by Professor Hal Pawson of Heriot Watt University and looked at resident involvement in the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark.
