The Centre recently completed the Research Project on Building effective tenant participation in the management of local authority housing in Ireland,  funded by the Housing Agency Research Support Programme 2020 and undertaken in collaboration with Community Action Network and the University of Southampton Law School. This research examined how structured tenant participation could be developed in the Irish local authority sector. It reviewed policy and practice on tenant participation in other jurisdictions, as well as an assessment of the current practice in Ireland. A key feature of the  project was the holding of ‘Dialogue Events’ involving a variety of stakeholders; tenants, local representatives and local authority staff, exploring the opportunities and challenges of developing a proposal for tenant participation which would be inclusive, rights based and innovative.
