Options to Get Involved One Housing is committed to listening to residents  TRAs will be a key source of input  We want to agree the best way to involve everyone  Options include:  o A representative resident group o Public events, drop-in days and focus sessions o Online consultation o Appointing an Independent Tenant Advisor who would work for residents o Training sessions to understand technical and design issues
