Profile

Welcome

Formed on April 1, 2011, the Together Housing Group collectively manages 37,000 homes, affecting more than 50,000 people's lives, employing 1300 staff, spread over a large geographical area in the North of England.

About Us

Chevin is a charitable association and an Industrial and Provident Society. It was formed in 1998 as the Parent Association for Harewood Housing Society Ltd. In 2001 Chantry Housing Association joined the Group and in 2003 transferred its engagements to Chevin. At the same time Harewood Housing Society Ltd transferred its rented homes to Chevin.

In 2004 Hallam Housing Society Ltd transferred its engagements to Chevin Housing Association Ltd. Hallam was a non-profit making Industrial and Provident Society also operating under non-charitable rules, founded in 1966 as a ‘cost rent' society.

Chevin now owns and manages over 8,500 homes covering a wide range of needs including single people, families, older people and people with support needs. The homes are located across 27 local authorities covering both urban and rural areas working in partnership to provide a development and regeneration role.

Services

The Synergy partnership also carries out development services for Partners outside the Consortium across the North of England.

The Synergy partnership was first selected by the Housing Corporation as a "pilot" partner in 2004 and successfully delivered a programme in excess of £26m of Social Housing Grant with total scheme costs of some £75m. In 2006-08 the partnership was awarded an allocation of £38.8m and for the period 2008-2011 was awarded a grant allocation of around £30m with further grant aided schemes to be added over the 3 year period. More recently under the Affordable Homes Programme 2011-15 and successes with PFI and other grant funded schemes the partnership will deliver a programme of £107m with a grant allocation of £16m.

The partnership's asset base extends to over 60,000 homes providing a range of opportunities for the members such as shared procurement. The members are committed to delivering improved services through partnership working.
