Consultation & Involvement

Tenant and Resident Associations (TRA’s)

Resources

Once recognised, the TRA may apply for a small grant from HFI to cover its initial costs. It can also apply annually for an Administration and Publicity Grant to help with costs of producing information etc.

HFI can provide training for new committee members on how to run a TRA, how to hold effective meetings and the roles of committee officers. Further training is available for officers of the committee, e.g. the chair, secretary and treasurer.

Islington’s tenants and residents come from a wide variety of cultures and over 100 different languages are spoken across the borough. To help TRAs encourage people from all sections of the community to get involved, HFI has developed an Equalities Information Pack which contains advice on how to involve people from black and minority ethnic communities, disabled people and women and also gives lists of useful contacts.
