Leeds & Yorkshire Housing Association (LYHA) has appointed Mark Pearson as permanent Chief Executive, with immediate effect.
Mark joined LYHA in December 2017 and was made Interim Chief Executive in June 2018. Over the last 18 months Mark has overseen the transformation of the 1,500-home organisation, undertaking significant improvements to all areas of operations, including health and safety and risk management, which has led to LYHA successfully regaining its G1 V1 status last month*.
We are delighted to announce that we have appointed GTD as our new lead maintenance contractor. From this week they will be undertaking all day to day repairs to our properties.
Our latest development, at Catherine's Walk in Barnsley, is now nearing completion, with the first homes ready from October 2019.
The £5.7 million development (part funded by a £2 million Homes England grant) comprises 8 apartments, 6 bungalows and 40 houses. Five of the homes are available for shared ownership and the remainder will be let for affordable rent.
As part of our longstanding commitment to protect the health and safety of our customers, we recently carried out full Fire Risk Assessments of all our schemes with shared, internal communal areas (such as an entrance lobby).
Dream of owning your own home but not sure if you can do it? Why not take a look at Shared Ownership.
It's a government backed scheme designed to help make home ownership affordable for first time buyers and those currently renting or living with family. Put simply, you buy a percentage share of a property and then rent the rest, with the option to increase the share you own at any time.
