Residents' annual report
Our progress and performance in 2025/26
Welcome to this year's Resident's Annual Report. I am pleased to reflect on the progress we have made to provide a safe, comfortable home, and services for every resident.
Resident feedback plays an essential role in shaping our decisions and more than 7,000 residents chose to get involved this year, sharing their views through consultations, scrutiny reviews, surveys and resident groups. Their insights have helped us improve services, strengthen accountability and ensure resident voices remain at the heart of our work.
Looking ahead, the launch of our new Resident Strategy in April 2026 marks an important step forward. It sets out how we will support residents to thrive by providing safe, secure and affordable homes that meet changing needs, while making our services easier to access, simpler to use and more responsive to local communities.
It also reflects our ambition to be more than a landlord, helping residents access support, opportunities and services that strengthen stability, independence and wellbeing.

Regulatory performance
In 2025, we received our first grading from the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) under the consumer standards. We are proud to be graded Consumer (C2), which means we are fully compliant.
Tenant Satisfaction Measures (TSMs) are standards introduced by the Regulator of Social Housing to help residents understand how well their landlord is performing. We have seen improvements for both social tenant and shared owner satisfaction.

Supporting residents and communities
We want every resident to live well in their home, and offer a range of specialist services from supported housing to help with their tenancy.
During the past year, we helped residents access financial support of £5.76m through welfare benefits, arrears reductions, and grants.
Through Clarion Futures, residents can access opportunities such as skills training and money guidance; and within the wider community we work with partners to provide wellbeing spaces and local neighbourhood projects.

Resident voice
All our services and improvements are shaped by resident voice.
During 2025/26, we invited 56,625 residents to share their views and get involved. More than 7,100 residents took part through surveys, consultations, events, groups and scrutiny activities. Participation more than doubled compared with the previous year, demonstrating the growing impact of resident involvement.
I would encourage all residents to get involved where they can, whether by completing surveys, joining projects or task and finish groups, or participating in local activities.

The five new giants of opportunity
Shaping our approach
Last year, Clarion Housing marked 125 years of providing safe, affordable homes.
We used this milestone to look to the future. Working with experts and residents, we identified the Five Giants of Opportunity: Connection, Resilience, Sufficiency, Trust and Health – that can help create healthier, stronger and more connected communities.
These priorities shape our approach going forward.
While we are proud of the progress made, we know there is always more to do. We remain committed to listening, learning and working with residents to shape the future of Clarion.
