Tenant Involvement

Shepherds Bush Housing Association (SBHA) is one of the leading housing associations in the field of tenant involvement. Tenants joined the Management Committee in 1983, and the Association provides financial support to an Independent Tenants' Committee, as well as encouraging the setting up of individual tenants associations. We offer real power to our tenants as they can be shareholding members of the Association.

Today, over 3/4 of our shareholder members are tenants, and tenant representatives sit on every Sub Committee within SBHA. Tenants can hold all positions up to and including the Chair of the Committee of Management.

We have six established Tenants' Associations that are formally recognised by SBHA and a number of active tenants groups awaiting recognition. There is regular contact between the tenants' organisations and the staff on a range of issues, with staff regularly attending tenants meetings and the Independent Tenant Committee meetings.

We also have intouch@sbha to provide a support service to the Independent Tenants' Committee and tenants generally. intouch@sbha will carry out surveys, focus groups, mystery shopping and tenant liaison under the guidance of the Tenants' Committee.

We also have a leaflet which sets out the various ways that you can get involved it is available in the publications section of this site.
