Notting Hill Genesis will ensure that residents' voices will be heard and acted upon through Resident Involvement. Through effective scrutiny, recommendations and feedback, staff and residents will work together to build trust and improve services for the benefit of all.
Our resident promise • The NHG pledge • Your tenancy or lease agreement will not change • Residents will be at the heart of overseeing and shaping services • We will build more homes for low-cost rent • Rents and service charges will only increase in line with normal guidelines • Residents will not be asked to move • We will improve: • The repairs and maintenance experience • Accessibility: through easy, localised, personal services • The accuracy and transparency of service charges • We will develop new services, with you: • A fully self service digital service • A repairs system which allows you to track jobs • More choice and convenience around repairs appointments • Wider availability of services • An online platform so you can see what is happening with your enquiry or complaint • Clear transparent processes for challenging service charges
Housing Green Paper “A new deal for social housing” published on 14 August 2018. It is underpinned by five principles: ensuring homes are safe and decent effective resolution of complaints empowering residents and strengthening the Regulator tackling stigma and celebrating thriving communities expanding supply and supporting home ownership.
Local Ad-hoc involvement Special interest groups Proposed Resident Involvement Model Board
Local Forums • They will identify at a local level issues that need wider / deeper examination • Attendance is more open, meeting topics publicised in advance but residents can attend one meeting if they would prefer • They are tenure blind • They are topic based, about local housing management services
Task and Finish Co-Creation
‘Task & Finish’ groups are timed and task focused groups, working over a few months to review a specific area of service. NHG will look for up to 10 residents to participate in each piece of work, where residents can be involved face to face or digitally. • So far… • Antisocial Behaviour • Accessibility – Accommodation Review • Coming up… • Communications • Local issues
Co-creation is a management initiative, that brings different parties together (for instance, a company and a group of customers), in order to jointly produce a mutually valued outcome
Co-creation • So far… • Resident Promise • New Housing Operating Model • Hubs – more detailed work. E.g. Lettings and sign-up processes • Coming up… • All directorates • Further involvement in shaping specific services. E.g. Income collection, local services, new property design & resident aftercare
