The Third All Wales Annual Tenant Survey – What matters right now

Our Tenant Pulse reports offer insight into the thoughts and perceptions of tenants across Wales and this report reflects that. Our third Annual Tenant Survey reflects the voices of tenants in every county in Wales and from a wide range of backgrounds.

We believe the findings and recommendations offer valuable insight into the challenges tenants are experiencing right now, and how tenants feel and are responding to the current cost of living, energy and affordability crises.

Tenant Pulse is the official Wales-wide panel for tenants giving their views on the things that matter right to them. It was created 5 years ago by TPAS Cymru (under a programme of work supported by Welsh Government). It’s run quarterly on topical issues to help shape housing policy in Wales. It covers tenants of both social housing (Housing Associations and Council housing) plus private renters and those in supported housing.

If you are a tenant, why not join our Tenant Pulse panel and have your say?

URGENT

In housing, there are two big problems:

1. There is not enough social housing for those in need. Priorities must be made.
2. homelessness is a big, awful issue. It’s terrible for those impacted and the knock-on impact on NHS, social services, children's education etc is massive.

As a society we need to end homelessness. An expert panel of people working in homelessness have produced recommendations - one of which is to change the housing allocations policy - making homelessness the top priority.

Great - for everyone who is put at the top, but not so much for those who need to move down.

Welsh Government have specifically requested that we contact existing tenants to ensure that your voices are included within the latest consultation.

How do you feel about these reforms? We have a short tenant pulse for you here!
