Nexus Housing Corporate Story
Nexus Housing, formerly known as Worcestershire Housing Association, owns and manages over 2,800 homes in Worcestershire.
Our affordable homes span urban and rural locations within all six local authorities in the county. Consequently, we claim unique in-depth knowledge for the wide range of challenges for affordable housing that present themselves in Worcestershire – a partial result of the mix of dynamic city and rural communities.
Established more than 30 years ago, we are a not-for-profit housing association which exists to create places where people are proud to live and work.
We provide general needs rented and low-cost home ownership properties as well as working with specialist care and support providers , not least working with St Basils who will provide housing related support to young people at foyers in North Worcestershire.
Our range of services and the expertise we possess means that we are increasingly being sought after by other organisations as a partner or managing agent, and this is something which we are actively looking to continue.
In 1999 we joined Birmingham-based Harden Housing Association and Herefordshire organisation St John Kemble Hereford Housing Association (since renamed Kemble Housing) within the West Mercia Housing Group.
Our latest Group member, Whitefriars Housing Group, joined forces with West Mercia in 2008 and we have since re-branded our parent organisation as WM Housing Group.
The result is that we are now part of a regional force of more than 24,000 homes which also enjoys the status of being a lead investment partner of the Homes and Communities Agency and the lead member of the Spectrum Development Consortium development consortia.
Geographically WM Housing spans Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Coventry, Birmingham and the West Midlands. What links us is our high standards of performance and our agreed key values to provide excellent service, value people, act with integrity and deliver creative solutions.
Thanks to our status; our resources and opportunities have grown, but our autonomy and local specialism remain.
