In 1972, South Yorkshire Housing Association (SYHA) was formed as part of a wider movement to end homelessness after our founder, John Belcher, watched Ken Loach’s Cathy Come Home.
Over fifty years later, we still help people and families to settle at home, live well and realise their potential. We offer homes for affordable rent, shared ownership and extra-care housing, and a range of other services, support and opportunities across Sheffield City Region.
We are regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing and members of the National Housing Federation. SYHA is a subsidiary of Places for People.
You can find out more about our work and priorities in our strategic plan.
