Welsh Housing Partnership (WHP)
Hendre is proud to announce its involvement as a Member of the Welsh Housing Partnership. This exciting and innovative venture sees Coastal Group, Hendre Group, Seren Group and Cymdeithas Tai Clwyd work together to buy affordable homes for people to rent under one banner, the Welsh Housing Partnership. These housing associations have a combined turnover of £100million and manage nearly 18,000 homes.
The aim of the new project, the Welsh Housing Partnership, is to increase the supply of quality affordable homes to families who can't afford to buy their own homes. The Partnership will offer long term quality rental packages to tenants keen to rent one of these affordable homes in north or south Wales.
Housing, Regeneration and Heritage Minister Huw Lewis and Finance Minister Jane Hutt attended the launch of the new Partnership in Newport on Thursday 15 September to hear first-hand how it aims to meet the demands for social housing in Wales.
Ian Williams, Chair of the Welsh Housing Partnership Board, and Hendre Group Chief Executive explains:
"In this pilot scheme, supported by the Welsh Government and Principality Building Society, the Welsh Housing Partnership aims to buy around 150 homes to rent during its first year. We believe that by working together and sharing our extensive experience in housing, we can deliver quality affordable rented houses to people living in south and north Wales. We hope to build on a great foundation that will see more and more people living in quality rented accommodation across Wales".
