Proud to be supporting TPAS Scrutiny Week

We’re proud to be part of TPAS Scrutiny Week – a subject close to our hearts at LYHA as we continually strive to improve Customer Experience.

Over the last 3 years we have transformed our approach to customer engagement, providing far more opportunities for customers to feedback to us about their ‘lived experience’ and co-create improvements to our services.

The Community Trigger Process

In 2014 the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act introduced specific measures designed to give victims and communities a say in the way that complaints of anti-social behaviour are dealt with. This includes the community trigger or anti-social behaviour case review, which gives victims of persistent anti-social behaviour reported to any of the main responsible agencies (council, police, housing provider) the right to request a multi-agency case review of their case – regardless of which agency is investigating the case. 

Our customer support fund

Helping our customers to thrive in their homes and communities is really important to LYHA but we recognise that some of our customers struggle financially on a day to day basis and have limited reserves to fall back on when the unexpected occurs. 

Repairs

Over the last few months we have been catching up on repairs, following COVID delays.

Our new Improving Customer Experience Strategy

We have launched a new 'Improving Customer Experience' strategy. This is all about listening to you, our customers, understanding your needs and improving the service that we deliver to you. Our vision is 'To ensure all our customers live in a home they love and in a community in which they can thrive' and we want to provide consistently high levels of service to enable you to do this.

Please remember to update your Universal Credit Journal

If your receive Universal Credit you will need to login to your UC Journal: https://www.gov.uk/sign-in-universal-credit from 1st April and update it with your new rent amount that we wrote to you with in February.

Our new complaints policy

LYHA aims is to continuously improve the customer experience which we do by listening to and acting on customer feedback. You can now make a complaint or give a compliment via this website.

Pharmacies launch codeword scheme to support victims of domestic abuse

Victims of domestic abuse can now access support safely & discreetly by using the codeword 'Ask for Ani' in all Boots stories & any other independent pharmacies throughout the UK displaying the poster in their window.

Debt Awareness Week 2021

It's Debt Awareness Week and we know that many people are finding it harder than ever to make ends meet at the moment. If you're worried about spiralling debts or managing your finances, please take #thefirststep by speaking to one of our Income Officers who provide practical, friendly & non-judgemental support. Here are just a few short, anonymous case studies of people they've recently helped:

Rent review letters

You will have recently received your annual rent review letter through the post. From 1st April 2021 we will be increasing our rents by 1.5% to help us improve our homes and communities and provide better services to you. This increase reflects current government policy and is in line with other housing associations throughout the UK. Your letter will provide an individual breakdown of your new monthly costs.

How will this money be spent?

LYHA is a not-for-profit organisation and all additional rent income will be invested in our homes and communities:

Repairs service update

We are continuing to carry out repairs at this time, in line with government guidance. However, with COVID rates still high, we need to work together to keep everyone safe.

If your repair is not urgent, please think carefully whether the work can wait and you can report it later.

 

National Apprenticeship Week

This week is National Apprenticeship Week and we caught up with our IT Apprentice, Matthew, who joined us last June to hear why he chose to do an apprenticeship and his experience so far:

“I’m really enjoying my role at LYHA. In fact I couldn’t have asked for a better start. I’m working with a really friendly team of people who’ve made me feel very welcome and I’m learning a lot, especially from my manager, who is practically demonstrating things and answering my questions.

International Women's Day 2021

My career in housing began in the mid 1990’s, my first ‘proper’ job out of university. I worked for The Housing Corporation in an admin role, managing a portfolio of housing associations; processing paper applications for new schemes and managing cashflows amongst other things. This whet my appetite for development, as the role had given me an insight into the development process and the many challenges that came with it, so I pursued my new found goal of working for a housing association and started my career in development which has now spanned more than two decades!

Reducing our environmental impact

Decarbonisation and tackling climate change is one of the biggest challenges currently facing housing providers and LYHA is firmly committed to being proactive in this area: both by delivering energy efficient, new homes that don’t rely on fossil fuels, and retrofitting our existing homes to ensure that they are as energy efficient and affordable to run as possible.

Save money on your energy costs this winter

Many of us are worried about rising heating costs and energy bills at the moment, especially with the cold weather and the fact that we're all at home a lot more than usual due to current lockdown advice.

LYHA appoints new fire safety equipment contractor

LYHA has appointed DFP Services as our new fire safety equipment contractor to maintain and repair the fire alarms, emergency lighting, smoke vents and fire extinguishers (where fitted) at your scheme.

DFP will carry out planned maintenance checks over and above those carried out by our own LYHA block inspectors and will also come out to check and reset systems in the case of a false activation.

Kickstarting employment for 16-24 year olds

Leeds & Yorkshire Housing Association (LYHA) is delighted to be part of the Kickstart Housing Partnership, a nationwide work-placement scheme led by Clarion Housing Group, the UK’s largest provider of affordable housing.

In need of support?

Winter can be a difficult time of year, especially in 2020/21 when we are not able to see friends and family in the usual way. If you are in need of support, please seek help and don't suffer in silence and keep an eye out for any older or vulnerable neighbours.

This is the highest governance and financial viability rating awarded.

Keeping you safe and providing support in the new lockdown

As you will know, the government has announced a second national lockdown (beginning 4th November). This is a worrying and challenging time for us all and we want to reassure you that we are committed to doing everything we can to support you. The government advice is that we can continue to provide our current services (including repairs and new lettings) and our focus is on ensuring we deliver these services safely. Our customers’ and colleagues’ health will always come first.

IIP Silver Success for LYHA

We are delighted to have been awarded the Investors in People (IIP) Silver Award.  The accreditation recognises the considerable progress we've made over the last two years in improving our service to customers and transforming our working culture. Amongst the comments in the assessor’s report were:

Continually improving our repairs service is very important to us and listening to customer feedback, we know that you agree. We therefore decided to retender our repairs contract, with our Customer Scrutiny Panel playing a key role in the selection process to ensure that customers’ views were taken into account.

New Leeds lockdown restrictions

Leeds has now been placed under stricter restrictions to try and slow the spread of Covid.

Our New Corporate Plan - Together 2023

We are delighted to announce the launch of the new LYHA Corporate Plan - Together 2023

It's called "Together 2023" because our approach is all about collaboration and partnership, listening and acting on what you tell us so that we can improve the customer experience. It sets out how we will continue to improve what we do and our ambitious plans for the future, as well as our new vision, mission, values and objectives. 

We hope that you'll take a look at the plan yourself by clicking on the links below to:

Working towards a greener country #HomesAtTheHeart

Decarbonisation and tackling climate change is one of the biggest challenges currently facing housing providers and LYHA is firmly committed to being proactive in this area: both by delivering energy efficient, new homes that don’t rely on fossil fuels, and retrofitting our existing homes to ensure that they are as energy efficient and affordable to run as possible.

Prestigious honour for LYHA board member, Liz Sandwith

She commented: “Receiving such an prestigious award is a great honour”.

New apartments for over 55s

Free skills training

LYHA has joined up with Interserve to offer free computer skills training to LYHA customers & their families, friends and neighbours (even if they are not customers themselves).

What makes us different makes us stronger

Recent events, in particular the Black Lives Matter Movement, have shone the spotlight on the continuing prejudice and inequalities facing people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, both here in the UK and throughout the world. I believe that we as an organisation, and as individuals, have a duty to speak up; to take a stand against racism and injustice and ensure that nobody faces discrimination because of their skin colour, race or religion. This extends to our customers, communities, employees and society as a whole.

Delivering Services Safely

As you know the government has recently relaxed some of the lockdown restrictions and has issued guidance to landlords about restarting services. Customers' health and wellbeing will always be our top priority and we are sending out a newsletter to all customers this week to outline how we intend to provide services safely going forward and how to access support if you need it.

Our response to this week's government green paper on social housing

This week’s government green paper on social housing recognises the urgent importance of creating a new supply of affordable homes. National Housing Federation research earlier this year revealed that between 2012 and 2016, nearly 36,000 too few homes were built in Yorkshire and Humber. Housing associations are doing lots of great work to alleviate that. In 2016/17 housing associations delivered over 2,000 new affordable and market-priced homes in Yorkshire and started a further 2,557. Here at LYHA we have an ambitious new-build strategy.
