New GMHP chair Charlie Norman: ‘We do things differently in Manchester’ insidehousing.co.uk/insight/new-gm…

Last week we were joined by Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and Liverpool City Region Combined Authority for a site visit at one of our properties that have benefited from the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund. 🏘

This week is #RuralHousingWeek when the sector unites to shine a spotlight on the crucial role that housing associations play in our rural communities

I’ve written a blog about getting involved in Rural Housing Week and why rural housing matters to me 🏡🌷housing.org.uk/news-and-blogs…

Our red line on #RightToBuy was that every single social home sold would be replaced. Recent pilots show there is not enough money from sales to build new social homes. Our priority is to build homes for the 4.2 million people in need of #SocialHousing in England today.

Many thanks to Steve Coffey for being our North West regional chair over the past few years! It’s been a pleasure working with you and I’m looking forward to continuing to do so with your new role as chair of Homes For The North

Congrats to Wayne Gales our new NW regional chair 👏 👏
