About
The fund is managed by the Lewisham Tenants’ Fund Management Committee.
Tenant representatives are elected to this committee by tenants at the annual general meeting.
If you are interested in setting up a TRA please contact your landlord as they can offer practical support to tenants and leaseholders who are interested in setting up an association in their area. They can also help you obtain financial help from LTF to meet the initial costs in establishing an association.

About
LTF was set up with the support and commitment of Lewisham council.
This gave tenants the opportunity to be involved in the decisions made about the quality and the range of housing services available to them through consultation.
The funding is acquired from the small amount within every tenant’s rent (currently 10p per week as at April 2016) which goes to fund tenant participation across the borough. This fund is primarily used to support existing Tenants’ and Residents Associations (TRAs) and setting up new ones.
Established in 1993 and managed by a management committee made up of Lewisham council tenants, LTF is committed to tenants being involved in how they manage their homes.
