SW9 Community Housing is a resident-led organisation which means we encourage resident involvement at every level, including the Board.

Five tenants, five leaseholders, two independents and one Council appointee all form our Board with a responsibility for the organisation’s strategic direction and future.

As a resident-led housing organisation we regularly hold consultations to seek your views about aspects of our service. This might take the form of surveys, feedback forms or even focus groups, where participants are invited to discuss a particular topic or issue. This helps us to make sure that the decisions we make reflect the opinions of the community. 

How to get involved

Consultations can involve all residents or just those that live in a particular area. Upcoming consultations are advertised on our news pages. If you are interested in finding out more about what consultations we have going on, please fill out our ‘Contact us’ form.

We hold quarterly meetings to give residents a chance to meet with staff and have their say about the services they receive in our supported housing schemes. Occasionally guests are invited to speak at these events, making them great opportunities to find out more about what is taking place in the wider community.

How to get involved

Supported Housing Residents’ Meetings are open events that all supported housing residents are invited to attend. Upcoming meetings are advertised on our news pages and on scheme noticeboards.

Procurement is an incredibly important part of the SW9 Community Housing’s work. This is because it involves deciding what contractors to hire using your rent money. It is important that they offer not only a great deal for the organisation, but also great service to residents.

Procurement takes place on an ad hoc yet regular basis and we are always on the look out for residents with an eye for getting a good deal.

How to get involved

If you would like to take part in Procurement activities, please fill out our contact us form.

We often to need create new documents, leaflets and other information in order to let you know how best to access our services.

At SW9 we are committed to providing a high quality service to our residents. To achieve this, we need to know that residents needs and expectations are being heard and where possible, acted upon.

One way of achieving this is through improved communications between residents and SW9 through Residents’ Associations.
