We are 13 housing associations working together to deliver more and better housing for West Yorkshire
Our partnership members come together to provide a focal point for housing-related ambition, policy and collaboration across the region. We also work closely with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, the Mayor of West Yorkshire, the five local authorities and local leaders to maximise the benefits offered by devolution.
