Jayne Bryant, Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government, recently visited our newly acquired homes in Rhondda Cynon Taff to see firsthand how innovative funding is helping us provide much-needed affordable housing.
A thriving new community
These homes are part of a transformative development that will bring over 1,000 new homes, a primary school, and a vibrant village centre to the area.
The impact of the Welsh Government’s £90m low-interest loans for Registered Social Landlords like ourselves helps support the delivery of 277 affordable homes across Wales and improvement works to 4,397 existing homes.
During the visit, the Cabinet Secretary highlighted the importance of affordable and energy-efficient housing, stating:
“The homes here in Michaels Grove exemplify the real power of this type of funding to deliver beautiful homes that are affordable to run and that enrich our communities.
“We need more affordable and energy-efficient homes now and for the future and it is so important that we continue to explore innovative ways to increase the supply of housing for individuals and families across Wales.”
Our Group Chief Executive, Jo Oak, expressed her gratitude for the support:
“This funding has allowed us to secure nine additional homes for families as part of a wider acquisition of 20 homes at this mixed development site.
“We are grateful to the Welsh Government for its support in enabling us to deliver the best possible affordable housing solutions and support for local people, helping us create safe and happy homes and communities where our customers feel they belong.”
