Resident groups in Brighton & Hove

The Tenant Disability Network (TDN) is a resident-led group that is support by the Community Engagement Team. The group aims to engage with disabled council tenants and leaseholders, carers, and Personal Assistants (PAs) to gather their views. They also support them to improve their experience of living in council homes.

TDN focuses on housing services, working with council housing managers to help improve services. TDN gathers information about issues and projects that affect disabled people. They also distribute this information so more tenants and leaseholders are kept up-to-date about services and support in the city.

The Citywide Conference is a yearly meeting for council housing tenants. In the meeting, they talk about changes or improvements they’d like to see in the housing service.  

The conference theme is decided by residents in the Involvement and Empowerment Group. The conference includes topics with guest speakers, a chance to meet other residents from across the city. Attendees can also talk to our senior housing managers about housing concerns or ideas they have.

The conference has been run for several years and is successful in linking residents with council staff. It prioritises residents’ concerns and makes a real difference to residents across the city. All tenants of council homes are welcome.
