By the end of April, 20 new digital and on the ground projects will have launched across the country.

Each project will run for 12 months to road-test new ideas that give tenants clearer and faster ways to talk to and influence their landlords.

Thousands of tenants will be involved in the trials, which will involve testing interventions in targeted areas to see which are most successful so that the learnings from the projects can be rolled out nationwide.

The funding will be made available via the government’s Social Housing Innovation Fund, which launched last October.

“We’ve doubled this fund to £2m so we can ramp up practical, real-world interventions that strengthen tenants’ voices and ensure they are respected and taken seriously,” said Baroness Taylor, lords minister for housing and local government.

“The best ideas will be rolled out nationwide and tenants will shape every step, so what we take forward genuinely works to transform tenants’ experiences.”
