Our mission is: To provide high quality housing, services and support for more people in need
To underpin this mission, the Board of Management has set out the following vision for NCHA: More Homes, Great Services, Better Lives
NCHA’s initial allocation for the period 2008/11 is for £14,763,457 to build 338 homes. This allocation comprises the largest single part of a grant of over £40million which has been allocated to the Blue Skies Consortium. The Blue Skies Consortium consists of 12 member housing associations of which NCHA is a lead member.
Our previous allocation as part of the consortium with the Longhurst Group, was just over £17 million of Social Housing Grant, which would provide the production of 473 new homes during the 2006-08 investment programme. This was part of an allocation to the consortium of more than £56 million to build approximately 1350 dwellings.
There are many vulnerable groups in society who are often forced onto the fringes and not given the opportunity to show their worth. NCHA has worked tirelessly since 1985 to become the largest provider of Housing with Care and Support in the East Midlands. Supporting more than 1,200 vulnerable people in NCHA’s accommodation and a further 200 people in their own homes, we enable them to lead full and happy lives. This includes people with learning disabilities; people with mental health problems; vulnerable women and children, homeless young people and Asian elders.
