About this event
Rising housing costs affect everyone — but Black and Racially Minoritised communities are hit harder.
Systemic barriers and limited access to information mean many people struggle to navigate the complex world of social housing.
BSWN’s research highlights challenges like the confusing council housing bidding process and lack of accessible guidance.
That’s why, in partnership with Bristol City Council and Housing Matters, we’re running community workshops to make the system clearer and more approachable. These sessions create a space for honest questions, practical support, and building stronger links between the Council and the communities it serves.
Who is this event for?
This event is for Black and Minoritised council housing tenants of Bristol City Council who live around Southmead and who wish to engage with the Council and resolve queries around the following issues:
- Anti-Social Behaviour
- Damp and Mould
- HomeChoice
- Repairs & Maintenance
- Welfare Rights and Money Advice Service (WRAMAS)
What will be covered?
Council housing tenants will have access to a one-on-one meeting with Housing representatives.
Who will we hear from?
Representatives from Bristol City Council:
- Housing Management and Estates Team on anti social behaviour,
- Repairs and Maintenance Team on damp, mould and repairs
- Housing Allocations Team on HomeChoice
- Welfare Rights and Money Advice Service (WRAMAS)
- The local area’s Housing Officer
What else do I need to know?
Please note that registration for this event does not guarantee that you will be seen by an officer. Attendees will be served on a first-come, first-serve basis. To ensure that your query is seen, please come as early as you can.
