Winter 2010
• Government publishes IRIS report on
regional and national tenants’ organisations
In October 2010 the Department for Communities &
Local Government published a report on the research into
tenants’ organisations carried out by IRIS Consulting.
The IRIS research identified those tenants’ organisations
that have developed over many years that operate at the national
and regional levels in England.
This is the first research ever carried out and published
that maps the existence of regional and national tenants’
organisations across the country. It identifies the distinctive
roles performed by the four national bodies (TAROE, NFTMO,
TPAS and CCH) and the areas where there are stable and viable
regional tenants’ organisations (London, East Midlands
and North-East).
