Homes for Haringey has consulted on and agreed new structures for resident involvement. These do not include Area Housing Forums or Housing Management Board, the main functions of which are now covered by other groups. To note that currently both Area Housing Forums and Housing Management Board are part of the Executive function under the Council’s Constitution. The recommendation is to disband these bodies, which will require a Full Council decision to amend the constitution
