RCT Homes (Rhondda Cynon Taff Homes) was established in 2007 after thousands of tenants voted to transfer the ownership and management of their homes from Rhondda Cynon Taff Council. RCT Homes was set up as the first community mutual housing organisation in Wales, promoted by the Welsh Assembly Government to produce community-owned-and-controlled housing. Tenants take an active role in decision making and sit on the RCT Homes Board, having a key role in the awarding of multi-million pound contracts.
