Tenants, leaseholders, and shared owners have been working with us to find better ways for you to influence housing decisions. Together, we’re creating a new Tenant and Leaseholder Board (TLB) - a group that will work directly with senior decision-makers to make housing services fairer, stronger, and more open.
We’re now inviting residents to join the Board and help shape the future of housing in Oxford.
Why join the Tenant and Leaseholder Board?
This is your chance to:
- help shape and influence how housing services are run
- make sure residents’ voices are heard at the highest level
- work alongside senior decision-makers
- bring real community experiences into housing policy and planning
- help create a powerful new team of residents working together to create meaningful change
Who can apply?
You must be an Oxford City Council housing tenant, leaseholder or shared owner to apply.
Everyone is welcome to apply, whatever your background, language, experience, or circumstances.
You don’t need lots of experience or formal education. You just need:
- an interest in your home and community
- a willingness to listen, learn, and speak up
- a passion for making things better for everyone
We’ll provide free training and ongoing support to help you build confidence, develop new skills, and grow personally and professionally.
We especially want to hear from:
- younger residents
- carers
- people with disabilities
- residents from underrepresented communities
- anyone who wants to make a difference in their neighbourhood
Your voice matters. Take your seat at the table and help shape housing services for today and the future.
