Welcome to the eighth issue of Open, brought to you by the Housing Corporation,
the national affordable homes agency.

In this issue, the features focus on resident involvement. We show how housing associations are improving their services and the design of new homes by involving residents in decision making. Plus, we show how residents are using the experience they have gained to get into training or employment.

There is also a directory of research and guidance published by the Housing
Corporation and others, which will help you find the expertise you’re looking for on this subject.
