Resident Involvement

Community Event on Eric Street Involving residents in how we work and engaging with them to hear their views are central to how East End Homes operates. These are key themes of our Corporate Plan and embodied in our 'we are listening' value.

These pages contain information on different levels of resident participation. Our Board takes an overview of all of our activity. There is also a framework of local estate boards which work with a specific focus on their neighbourhoods. The Resident Scrutiny Panel works outside of the formal governance framework to scrutinise our performance.

Our resident involvement publications contain detailed information on how participation works at East End Homes.
