Homes NSW to bring Tenant Participation and Community Engagement inhouse
Dear colleague,
I write to inform you of some upcoming changes to the way Homes NSW
delivers tenant participation and community engagement activity across
NSW.
Since 2018, Mission Australia has been a valued partner delivering
tenant participation initiatives on behalf of the Department of
Communities and Justice (Housing Services).
With the establishment of Homes NSW, we have reviewed the current tenant
and community participation approach. I firmly believe that working
with our tenants and stakeholders and ensuring that they have a voice
into our policy and operations is central to delivering
services.
For this reason, we have made the decision to bring tenant participation
in-house, forming a new unit within Homes NSW team that will coordinate
tenant and community engagement and elevate tenant voices like never
before. The current contract with Mission Australia
will end as of December 31, 2024.
There are many valuable programs and local groups driving tenant
participation across the state. We will work closely with Mission
Australia to support the transition of management arrangements.
Leading this transition work on behalf of Homes NSW will be our
Director, Partnerships and Communications, Adam Thompson. Adam manages
public affairs and engagement for Homes NSW and will work hard with key
stakeholders to ensure that what we deliver meets
community needs, while also establishing a clear channel for tenant
voices to be heard when decisions are being made.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mission Australia, their
staff and the services that have been engaged over the last six years
for their contribution to tenant participation.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss further, please contact Adam Thompson at
adam.thompson@homes.nsw.gov.au.
Kind regards,
Rebecca Pinkstone
CEO, Homes NSW
