Thirty-seven housing projects from across the country which involve the development of local standards between landlords and their tenants to improve services have been selected as local standards pilots by the Tenant Services Authority (TSA).

The successful projects will benefit tenants living in 380,000 homes across the country and will see landlords working on a wide range of projects that involve tenants playing a key role in agreeing local targets that reflect priorities and needs.

Some 185 organisations which include local authorities, co-operatives and housing associations answered the TSA's invitation to bid for funding of up to £9,000 to support to support the development of agreements between landlords and their tenants to develop 'local deals'.

Grants totalling £281,000 have been awarded.
