As a result of the discovery of past failures in relation to evidencing checks on health and safety matters affecting our tenants’ homes (principally electrical safety testing), Leeds & Yorkshire Housing Association has today been formally downgraded by the Regulator of Social Housing from G1 to G2.

As soon as these matters were brought to the Board's attention, they were self-reported to the Regulator of Social Housing and its ruling is accepted by the Board. The Board and current executive management team regret that the tenants of the Association have been let down in this way.   

The Board is confident that the steps we are taking with our renewed and revitalised team, supported by the Regulator, will ensure that we deliver our first and ongoing priority which is our tenants’ safety in their homes.
