About us
Connect Housing is committed to achieving excellence in our key services to tenants and other customers. Our strong customer focus and high quality services ensure we are recognised as an efficient values-based business and reliable partner, and known for our innovative responses to housing and community needs. We continue to play a key role in raising housing standards in Yorkshire. We invest in our current housing across the region to meet changing needs and aspirations of present and prospective tenants. We continue to develop new housing where this is required to meet housing needs in locations and/or for specific needs where Connect Housing is a key player. A priority for our investment will be promoting inclusion and choice for people in the community who are disadvantaged in the housing market, including people needing supported housing and those from BME communities, amongst others. Connect Housing invests in communities, not just bricks and mortar, as an active supporter of the iN Business for Neighbourhoods alliance.

Our Money Matters team has helped a tenant living with cancer to regain her Personal Independence Payment (PIP). Katie Bligh from the team worked directly with the resident, and says the case highlights how "the process can be difficult to go through without support" when appealing a benefit decision. https://lnkd.in/eVdXPxmh

"Solving the housing crisis will require more than plans and promises. It requires a significant increase in long-term investment in social housing."
A statement from the West Yorkshire Housing Partnership on the Government's #PlanForChange: Currently, nearly 85,000 people in #WestYorkshire are on housing waiting lists, highlighting the urgent need for action. We welcome the Government’s renewed commitment to launching the largest building programme in 50 years, as well as plans to publish new 10-year housing and infrastructure strategies this Spring. These strategies are vital for creating the certainty needed by housing associations and the broader supply chain. However, solving the #HousingCrisis will require more than plans and promises. It requires a significant increase in long-term investment in social housing. To deliver meaningful change, we urge the Government to prioritise the reclassification of investment in housing as infrastructure spend. Only by doing so can consistent funding be assured, which will then deliver the pipeline of new homes needed, alongside the decarbonisation of existing homes and the regeneration of our towns and cities. As the Spending Review approaches, we’re also calling for a 10-year rent settlement to provide long term certainty to support investment as well reforms to Right to Buy to protect the existing social housing stock. Our partnership recognises how providing safe, warm, and affordable homes transforms lives, strengthens communities, and drives economic growth. That’s why we stand ready to work with the Government to turn this ambition and plans into reality.
