The 'Tenant Participation Strategy Consultation', which is part of the Social Housing Reform Programme, calls on social housing tenants across Northern Ireland to air their views on the role they can play in shaping the delivery of social housing, and the services they receive from social landlords.
Social Development Minister Mervyn Storey said: "My vision for social housing is more than just providing a home for those in need; it is about creating communities with efficient services that respond to local needs.

"The voices of tenants are vital and they should be encouraged and supported to become involved in shaping the services they receive from their landlords.
"I know that there are already a number of social housing landlords already well engaged in tenant participation and this draft Strategy has benefited greatly from their experience."
The Tenant Participation Strategy sets out what social landlords should do in order to give tenants the opportunity and choice to participate in the decisions that affect them and how government will help.
