Help to set up an
new group
In Kirklees:
Fieldworkers
from Kirklees Federation of Tenants & Residents Associations
(KFTRA) can give you independent advice and help to set up your
Tenants & Residents Association. They have lots of experience
of helping groups campaign for the things they want.
You can contact other Tenants & Residents Associations in
your area through the Federation and maybe ask someone from your
area to come to talk to you from the Federation's Management
Committee. Other tenants association members started off just
like you and know exactly what you are feeling. They can really
help you out.
Neighbourhood
Tenant Participation Officers are there to help you apply for
a Support Grant from the council. They can give you advice about
getting in touch with your Area Housing Office and having your
say on Housing Management Committee.
