Introduction JV North is a growing consortium of housing association and local authority members who collectively manage over 100,000 homes across the North west. we formed in 2007 to create economies of scale when bidding for government home building grant and procuring works. We are currently planning the next chapter in our successful history preparing for Homes England’s new 2021/26 Affordable Homes Programme and also a new large scale contractors’ and consultants' framework that will be live in the summer. Our aim is to support the delivery of new homes, with affordable housing of all tenures and types delivered across the region from city centres like Liverpool to smaller hamlet sites in rural Cheshire. Our current development work sees us building over 4,550 homes in the 2016/21 Shared Ownership Affordable Homes Programme with members investing c£500m, supported by Homes England grant of £150m.
Our journey so far we have a proven track record of place making through the delivery of quality new homes spanning a decade. By the end of the current programme the partnership will have delivered 8,500 much needed new homes. JV North is a genuine partnership; we work together, members have equal status and we welcome other organisations. The Board meets quarterly with chief executives and development directors attending to share knowledge, market data and emerging risks and opportunities. Monthly development group meetings for key operational delivery team members are led by our programme management consultancy, Saffer Cooper. These forums provide opportunity for collaboration, shared learning and help us as a collective to continue to meet our new home delivery targets.
