Tenants are being asked to petition the Government to make sure Arms Length Management Organisations (ALMOs) who qualify receive all the Decent Homes programme funding promised to them.

Decent Homes money diverted
The National Federation of ALMOs (NFA), as part of their Decent Homes campaign, has submitted a petition to the Number 10 Downing Street website asking the Government to re-think their decision to divert £150 million from the Decent Homes programme to build new houses.

The decision means ALMO’s who had not gained the required two star rating by 17th July 2009, which includes Tower Hamlets Homes, will not be guaranteed the funding promised to enable them to bring their properties up to a decent standard.  As a result, many tenants now feel badly let down. The NFA are urging tenants and their family and friends to support the campaign.

Support the campaign and sign the petition

The petition is open until Monday 23 February 2010.
