Affordable housing and community building report 2009.  The purpose of this research report is to explore how affordable housing projects/models have integrated community building and the impact of affordable housing on building stronger communities.

The tenant participation Good Practice Guide provides practical guidance on how to involve tenants to build stronger communities and deliver better services. The guide has been written by Adam West who has extensive first hand experience in working with tenants in the UK and NSW.

This good practice guide examines what genuine tenant participation is and the barriers that prevent tenants getting involved in their organisations and communities. It describes inspirational examples of tenant participation from NSW and internationally and provides readers with a tenant participation ‘toolbox’ full of suggestions for new ways of involving people.

The guide also includes sections on tenant participation in a growing community housing sector, on rural and regional tenant participation and information on the most frequently used methods of tenant participation including Tenant Advisory Groups and tenant planning days.
