Last week, I met with Donna Cezair, CEO of Worthing Homes, and Catherine Ryder, CEO of Placeshapers to discuss our shared work to make sure everyone has a decent, affordable place to live and is able to put down roots and plan for the future.
Worthing Homes rightly has a good reputation and is trusted in our local communities. A high proportion of residents are happy with their experience; over 90% praise the staff with whom they have contact.
We work together to ensure every resident is heard and supported. When necessary, Donna and her team are responsive and communicative in dealing with issues and resolving difficult situations.
I have seen the positive difference community-based housing providers make.
PlaceShapers is a national network of over 100 place-based housing associations across England including Worthing Homes.
It is good that new homes are being created and that some tired old ones are being replaced or updated.
People rightly want quality homes in thriving communities, with the right help and support to create sustainable futures.
