The Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, David Skaith, visited Broadacres to engage with leaders from the regions housing sector as part of the York and North Yorkshire Housing Partnership. This group ensures the voice of our rural areas is heard.
A total of 23 housing associations make up the partnership and work together to scale up the delivery of affordable homes across the region.
David said: “A big thank you to the team at Broadacres in Northallerton for providing an insight into their work bringing affordable housing to rural and coastal communities. It was a really informative visit.
“I believe providing affordable homes is essential to keeping a skilled and experienced workforce within York and North Yorkshire, not least in our many rural areas and along our coast.
“Investing in housing helps economic growth, providing the foundation for opportunity.
“It’s good to see Broadacres is committed not only to understanding what our future housing needs are, as a region, but also to ensuring those needs are met.”
The partnership will work with the region’s Mayor and combined and local authorities to deliver the high quality, low carbon, affordable homes the region needs. The partnership is focusing on three key areas: building the right homes in the right place, the drive to net zero and boosting jobs and the local economy.
