2023 Tenant Satisfaction Measures
Frequently asked questions
Every year we undertake an annual survey to find out how satisfied residents are with the services provided by Housing 21. We used a census methodology to conduct our 2023 resident survey, which means that we send a survey to every household, as opposed to a representative sample.
The anonymous survey incorporates 12 questions relating to 22 Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs). The other 10 measures are captured through our performance data.
Under the new Social Housing Regulation Act, from 2024 onwards, all social housing landlords (such as Housing 21), must record performance against these key measurables. This is to ensure residents are living in acceptable standards of housing and can hold failing landlords to account.
The Tenant Satisfaction Measures focus on five key themes, which contribute to the overall satisfaction levels:
- Keeping properties in good repair
- Building safety and safety checks
- Respectful and helpful engagement
- Effective handling of complaints
- Responsible neighbourhood management
We used a census methodology to conduct our 2024 resident survey. We believe that there are many benefits to adopting this approach:
- A census approach provides us with richer, more robust data on which we can act.
- In accordance with our devolved model, a census approach gives us better local level data, so that we can formulate scheme-specific action plans
- Historically, residents have told us they have been disappointed not to have been able to take part in a survey. A census ensures everyone can have a voice.
We used an independent third-party agency, Acuity, to deliver our National Residents' Survey. This is so that we can ensure that resident voices can be anonymous, meaning they are more likely to speak freely and openly. The surveys were sent out as either online or paper copy format, as this approach has proven popular in previous years’ surveys, before the introduction of the new Tenant Satisfaction Measures.
