Resident Involvement

Plymouth Community Homes believes that resident involvement is a vital part of providing a first class housing service and is always looking to improve it.

Resident Involvement means you have your say and tell us when we get it right and wrong, because what we do and how we do it affects your homes and local community.

The more residents who get involved in Resident Involvement events and activities the more we can get an understanding of what our tenants and leaseholders need.

Ways we work with our tenants and leaseholders:

• support and develop tenants and residents groups
• set up focus groups to get views on specific issues and services
• send out letters and leaflets to individual tenants and groups
• send out a magazine, Plymouth Community Homes News, every three months to all tenants and leaseholders homes

More ways to get involved can be found on our 'How to get involved' page.

More information about resident involvement can be found in the Residents Involvement Leaflet, found below:

Be inspired!

Resident involvement is sometimes a stepping stone for tenants who go on to become important community leaders.  We're proud to be part of that and are constantly inspired by the acheivements of some of our active tenants. 

One of our tenants from Stonehouse has become an award-winning community leader, Home Office community crimefighter, and key partner in local and national improvements around anti-social behaviour. Read her inspring story on her website. link below.
