Jephson marks 100th affordable home milestone
|
| Friday 9th December 2011 |
Jephson Homes Housing Association has marked the completion of its 100th new affordable home in its northern region this year, with the handover of three properties at Moorbrook Drive, Holmfirth.
The milestone follows the completion of new homes in Skipton, Sutton-in-Craven, Doncaster, Halifax and Holmfirth during 2011. Jephson expects to have completed around 130 new homes by the end of the year.
Julie Quinn (pictured) was among the new tenants to move into one of the new homes at Moorbrook Drive, in November.
Cllr David Sheard, Lead Cabinet Member for Investment and Housing at the council said:
"Knowing that Julie now has the keys to her new home makes the all the hard work of Jephson, the Council, and the developer worthwhile.
"We've worked hard to secure these new affordable homes in a difficult economic climate, and it shows that by working in partnership, we can continue to deliver affordable housing and stimulate building when the development industry has slowed down. We look forward to working with Jephson and other partners to deliver more affordable homes in Kirklees."
Jephson's Northern Regional Director, Stuart Shore, said, "We are delighted to have completed our 100th home this year which has been made possible by the support that we have received from our local authority partners and from the Homes and Communities Agency, which has part-funded the majority of the new homes.
"The severe housing shortage has been in the national headlines in recent weeks and the homes we have provided will make a tremendous difference to people in the communities where the new homes have been provided.
"We worked very closely with Kirklees council to provide the new homes at Holmfirth and we are very grateful for this support, without which the new homes would not have been possible." |
