Creating and supporting residents' associations

Mitali Housing Association has helped residents set up associations at Cranberry Lane in Canning Town, and Beech Court in Ilford. 

These are fairly large estates with an ethnically diverse and disadvantaged population. The residents' associations are made up of housing association residents, private tenants and leaseholders. We work closely with the residents' associations to improve our services provided to them and external organisations, including local authorities and the police.

At Cranberry Lane we work closely with our partner organisation East Thames Housing Association to support and develop the role of the residents' associations.

There are currently two projects which the residents are working on:  

• a new creation of a community garden
• setting up of childrens after school activity group.
