Development And Regeneration
Who We Work With
Working with Partners
We work closely with our Local Authority partners to provide affordable housing across Yorkshire in conjunction with local needs and strategies. A full list of our Local Authority Partners is here.
Since 2004, Yorkshire Housing has been a development partner with South Yorkshire Housing Association forming In Business for Yorkshire. Our major funding partner is the Housing Corporation, which is governed by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. Our current programme of Housing Corporation funded homes is worth around £18 million for around 300 homes over two years.
In Business for Yorkshire is also part of Northern Edge. Northern Edge was one of the shortlisted winners of the Government's “60k house” competition, and we are continuing to develop this for future schemes.
Working with Communities
Yorkshire Housing has a track record of working closely with local people and groups to help produce safe, sustainable communities. We are at the forefront of local regeneration initiatives across the region.

We also work in rural communities, helping to tackle the shortage of housing for local people in these areas.
Working with Individuals & Groups
We actively promote the specific needs of individuals and special needs groups:
- Older people - including Sheltered, Extracare and Leasehold schemes (LSE)
- People with learning disabilities (bungalows and special needs schemes)
- Physically disabled people (wheelchair bungalows and flats)
- Vulnerable people
- Different ethnic and religious communities, providing specific housing solutions
Working with Developers
We are also a commercially-minded company and work closely with private developers both in joint ventures and frequently in helping developers comply with planning commitments for affordable housing.
We are keen to develop more business relationships with developers, agents and other Consultants in order to deliver homes. Whilst our core business is to deliver affordable housing, we are also keen to deliver sub-market, planning-gain and full market rented housing.
To operate successfully within the property market we are prepared to take risks and move quickly. We are keen to 'land bank' in the key areas where we work so that we can secure opportunities for the future as well as the present
