MANNINGHAM Housing Association has published a new streamlined corporate strategy and action plan setting out its ambitions for the next three years.

Its theme is around Investing and Developing in Diverse Neighbourhoods where People want to Live and Thrive.

As such the strategy focuses on four overarching objections: Providing More Affordable Homes, Looking After Our Existing Homes and Tenants, Community Investment and Partnership, and Tackling Inequalities in the BAME Community.

It also includes a restatement of MHA Values – Customer First, Passionate About Our Work, Accountability and Embrace Diversity – which have enabled the association to establish a strong reputation in the sector regionally and nationally, including winning several recent awards.

Barrington Billings, MHA chair, said: “One of MHA’s greatest strengths is that everyone knows their role in enabling the association to succeed.

“The new strategy and accompanying action plan – which is an effective roadmap for delivery – will further enhance our standing as a community-based BAME organisation at the top of its game.”    

Founded in 1986, MHA manages more than 1,400 homes for over 6,000 residents in Bradford and Keighley.

It is the first housing association in the country to be officially accredited for its work in promoting equality, diversity and inclusion.
