Tenant and resident participation

This is the group for tenants and residents who want to be more involved in the housing service.

It is where tenants, residents and the Council work together to ensure effective and meaningful consultation and communication takes place.

Members of this group gain an understanding of Council policies and procedures. It is also a way for members to meet other tenants and residents from all over the city to discuss any housing issues and share good news stories with each other.

This group meets monthly and new members are always welcome.

All meetings are in Committee Room 5 at the Town House.

Our Housing Service Review volunteers evaluate council services, highlighting what works and what doesn't, with the aim of improving them for everyone.

We provide training and support to help our volunteers carry out the reviews. So if you have ever thought that a service could be delivered better, why not join this group and help us?

This group has been recognised as best practise and has won various national awards.

All meetings are in Committee Room 5 at the Town House.

This group meets monthly to analyse housing performance. Group members can look at performance data and have the opportunity to question council officers about that information.

In addition, they examine the Housing Revenue Account - where all your rent money is kept - to see what is used for and to ensure the Tenant Participation budget is used to encourage participation with all our tenants.

All meetings are in Committee Room 5 at the Town House.

This group meets monthly and is for all residents (tenants and owners) who live in multi-storey buildings.

At these meetings we look at the issues affecting all multi-storeys and their residents. They are actively involved in fire safety issues and is used for consultation purposes.

The group has a Facebook page which links into other multi-storey Facebook groups across the city. 

All meetings are held on Microsoft Teams.

To be confirmed. 

These groups are made up of neighbours in multi-storey buildings who meet to organise social activities, address issues in their multi, to participate in tenant/resident led inspections and to lead on participatory budgeting for their multi and surrounding area.

If these groups have a constitution, the Council will pay an annual grant and they can apply for external funding. 

Check to see if your multi-storey has a Facebook Group.

This group is for all sheltered housing tenants from across Aberdeen. They meet on a regular basis to discuss policies and procedures which affect sheltered housing complexes. The members also share good news stories about their various social activities in their buildings.

These are groups based in the sheltered housing complexes who meet to organise various social activities such as bingo. If these groups have a constitution, the Council will pay an annual grant and they can apply for external funding. 
 

These are local people who represent the interests of those living in a particular area or building. These groups can meet face to face, or virtually – it is up to the group to decide.

Tenant and resident groups work with the Council and our partners including Police Scotland, to address problems in a particular area and find solutions. They can also participate in Community Walkabouts and tenant/resident led inspections. 

If these groups have a constitution, they receive funding from the Council and can apply for external funding eg lottery funding.  Members can also attend our citywide groups. To find out if there is a tenant and resident group in your area or if you would like to set up your own group, please contact your Housing Officer who will be happy to help you.

We have created the below guide to give tenants and residents useful information about why to start a group, what is involved in starting a group and how to successfully manage the group once it is established
