The G15 Residents’ Group (G15RG) consists of two resident members from each G15 organisation. They have first-hand experience of social and affordable housing and understand the challenges and opportunities that matter most to residents and communities.
Working in partnership with G15 leaders and engaging with policymakers, regulators, and sector partners, the group advocates for resident-led change in the social housing sector.
Through their insight and expertise, the G15RG plays a key role in shaping the future of social housing and communities across London.
Stigma and Discrimination
Stigma and discrimination remain a key focus for the Residents’ Group. Their research has highlighted the extent to which social housing residents continue to face unfair perceptions and barriers in everyday life.
Their report, ‘Taking the Stigma out of Social Housing: The Residents’ View’ is available to read below.
Strengthening Strategic Resident Involvement: The Social Housing Innovation Fund
The Government’s Social Housing Innovation Fund backs projects that give residents more influence over the services and decisions that affect them.
Through this funding, G15 members are working with the G15 Residents’ Group to strengthen the role of the resident voice in shaping housing policy, building on the strong, united voice already seen across the G15.
A research partner will be appointed during spring 2026 to review how the group works, identify improvements, and explore how the model could be scaled across organisations. The project runs until March 2027, with findings published in a public report alongside practical guidance for others looking to establish effective resident forums.
