The Community Gateway Association (CGA) - a new housing association with tenants at the heart of decision-making - has formally taken over ownership and management of around 6,000 properties from Preston City Council.
The Community Gateway Association (also known as the CGA or the Gateway for short) is a not-for-profit community business, set up to meet the housing needs of people in Preston and the surrounding areas.
A housing association providing high quality homes for people in need, the CGA is also about creating friendly communities, where people want to live. Its services include:
* Improving homes and neighbourhoods
* Providing tenancy advice and support
* Helping people to find suitable housing for their needs
* Tackling anti-social behaviour and the causes of it
* Collecting rents and other charges
* Working with local communities to build individuals' skills, knowledge and confidence.
The CGA is the first housing association in England to be set up as a 'community gateway'. This means the association places tenants and communities at the heart of its decisions, and gives local people lots of opportunities to shape its work.
The Gateway's starting point is to ask customers what they want, and gear the organisation's actions to their response. The CGA's business plan includes substantial continuing investment in community empowerment and training, which is vital to making this approach succeed. |
