A new fund to identify and promote best practice by social
housing providers in England has been launched by the Tenant
Services Authority (TSA).
Providers such as housing associations, local authorities and ALMOs
are invited to make bids of up to £9,000 to support the
development of agreements between landlords and their tenants to
develop 'local deals'.
The aim is to enhance the level of service in response to
particular local needs and strengthen landlord accountabilities to
their local community.
The TSA is also keen to learn from providers who already involve
their residents in the design and delivery of locally responsive
services so that this existing best practice can be shared and used
to inform the development of the TSA’s Standards
Framework.
Peter Marsh, TSA Chief Executive, said: "We are really keen to
support new and innovative schemes and identify best practice which
people can learn from.
"We know from our National Conversation that local priorities vary
from place to place and we want to support landlords to design and
tailor services to meet the specific needs of local areas.
"We look forward to receiving a wide range of innovative bids from
across the housing sector.”
Interested providers can find the application form and instructions
at www.tenantservicesauthority.org/tenantexcellence from Thursday
July 2.
The deadline for submissions is Wednesday August 5.
