About the course
Current government proposals for Best value in Housing and tenant participation aim to radically change the way in which Social Housing is managed and maintained. Though proposals will impact initially on Councils and Housing Associations agencies offering housing with care and support will inevitably be affected.
This one day course will be an opportunity to consider how participation could work for you and your project in whatever context - hostel (large or small), group home, supported lodging scheme, single tenancy etc.
