All Party Parliamentary Group Re-Formed To Protect Future of ALMO Movement

Clive Betts MP has been elected as chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for ALMOs as the Group re-forms following the General Election. The group will provide MPs and Peers with a forum to discuss key issues in council housing including the future of ALMOs and the importance of tenant empowerment. In line with the ALMO ethos of tenant participation, one of the key features of the group is that it invites tenants to come to meetings to participate in discussions and make their views known directly to MPs, Peers and Ministers. One example of the Group’s activities in the last Parliament was its support for the campaign to re-instate Decent Homes funding for Round 6 ALMOs which had been deferred by the Government. The end result was that the Government released some funding for eligible Round 6 ALMOs. Find out who’s on the group at the NFA website by clicking on the logo below.
