Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The importance of putting people first with TPAS
Q: What actionable steps can housing providers take to overcome barriers for unheard or hard-to-reach tenants?
Actions include removing practical barriers (childcare, travel costs, language access, flexible timing), engaging through community leaders, offering diverse engagement channels, and investing in data systems and staff training to sustain inclusion.
The importance of putting people first with TPAS
Q: Trust is repeatedly mentioned as essential in resident engagement. How can providers build and maintain trust with residents?
Trust is built through transparency, open communication, multi-channel feedback, and demonstrating outcomes from engagement efforts. Providers must show they hear residents and follow through with changes.
The importance of putting people first with TPAS
Q: Starting off, what does it mean to put people first in TPAS's work and how is that implemented in practice?
Kai explains that people-first means residents lead and that services for residents are co-produced and co-designed, with accessibility and feedback leading to visible change, ensuring tenants are treated as partners.
Integrating retrofit into asset management
Q: What practical advice would you give landlords and housing providers who want to start integrating retrofit into asset management?
Start by defining a strategy such as 'fix it first,' align with decent homes, start with manageable data collection, and progressively expand to more complex projects while ensuring funding from multiple streams is coordinated from the outset.
Integrating retrofit into asset management
Q: What would you say are the key drivers for retrofit within local authority housing today or from Enfield's perspective?
The drivers are energy efficiency targets (e.g., EPC improvements), cost reduction for residents, and a broader decarbonisation and net-zero agenda, all anchored by a safe, decent, and sustainable homes approach.
