The housing association have reached the halfway point of their goal to deliver 2,000 new affordable homes by 2033.
Alliance Homes – a housing association based in the West of England – have signed a new agreement with developer Woodstock Homes to deliver a new scheme in Winscombe, North Somerset.
The scheme will deliver the housing association’s 1,000th home – marking the halfway point to its 2,000 affordable homes target.
‘Signing this agreement is a proud moment for us, marking the hallway point in our journey to deliver 2,000 new affordable homes by 2033,’ Sarah McQuatt, service director at Alliance Homes said. ‘Every new home we build provides more families with a safe, secure place to live and thrive – so for us, it’s about much more than just bricks and mortar.
‘Our partnership with Woodstock Homes has been key in helping us deliver high-quality homes and playing our part in tackling the housing crisis in our region.’
When the spade it’s the ground, the new development is set to be comprised of 15 homes for social rent and another five for shared ownership, delivered as part of the section 106 agreement with North Somerset Council.
James Hutchinson, managing director of Woodstock Homes, added: ‘We’re proud to collaborate with Alliance Homes and deliver new affordable homes that meet the needs of families and communities. We look forward to continuing our partnership to address the urgent demand for affordable housing in our region.’
Trust that the new development from Alliance Housing and Woodstock Homes will be worthwhile is high, following previous success stories. The organisations have delivered three successful schemes in Nailsea, Tickenham and the Charlton Gate in Brentry, South Gloucestershire.
Jess Crowley moved into a shared ownership homes at Charlton Gate with her partner and young children and described the experience as transformative.
‘Life is much better now, and we’re happier,’ she said. ‘The house is warm, bright and there’s so much room, which makes everything less stressful. It’s a relaxing place to be, and it really feels like home.’
