Launched back in April, the Four Million Homes training scheme is a campaign funded by the government’s Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). The focus of the campaign is to empower social housing residents to get to know their rights and hold landlords accountable.
Here is a snippet from the GOV.UK website:
"From free advice on addressing damp and mould to webinars on how to complain about anti-social behaviour, the training programme will share information like that handed out by shows such as ‘Watchdog’ or ‘Rip Off Britain’, offering tips and advice so tenants know their rights and how to access the Housing Ombudsman service.
Backed by £500,000 government funding, the Four Million Homes programme will also encourage tenants to take an active role in how their homes are managed, with advice on how to set up a residents panel so tenants are treated with respect."
The programme had its first live event in May, and will be hosting accredited face-to-face events in cities such as Newcastle, Leeds, Liverpool, Birmingham and London. There will also be access to online educational webinars, and there are plans for online training videos to be accessible via the Four Million Homes website from September.
The Four Million Homes campaign has been created to provide guidance to social housing residents on the services that landlords are required to provide, and will run over the next 24 months. You can find out more information over on the Four Million Homes website here, or on the GOV.UK website here.
