We are pleased to confirm that, following a customer consultation and Board approval, SYHA has legally joined Places for People (PfP) as a subsidiary.
Why we’ve joined Places for People
PfP is the UK’s leading social enterprise, and committed to building homes and communities where everyone is welcome and can thrive. By working in partnership, SYHA and PfP are stronger and can ensure further growth and investment in South Yorkshire.
The partnership will support us to provide services at the standard our customers expect and deserve, and improves SYHA’s financial position.
Thank you to everyone that shared their views in our customer consultation. Almost 80% of customers that completed the consultation survey were neutral or supportive of the partnership, and the Board took this into account when deciding whether to approve SYHA joining PfP.
What the partnership means for you
SYHA and PfP are committed to making a positive difference to customers from both organisations, and investment in homes and services will increase.
- Our SYHA name, brand, and contact details are the same, and we still have our head office in Sheffield.
- We will provide the same support and services to our customers. If you have a tenancy agreement with us, this hasn’t changed.
- You will have the same Housing Officer, Keyworker, or other contact at SYHA.
You can read more about the partnership, including the answers to Frequently Asked Questions, at www.syha.co.uk/pfp. We will also be writing to all our customers with more information about the partnership, and you should receive a letter in the next couple of weeks.
