The Group was established to ensure that two Shropshire based housing associations with shared values and ambitions for Shropshire’s rural communities could maintain a degree of independence and at the same time compete with much larger providers in an increasingly demanding and strongly regulated environment. Shropshire Housing Ltd (the parent organisation) exercises strategic and regulatory control of the Group. Its role is to develop the business, forge new opportunities and strengthen existing activities and relationships. The parent employs the majority of staff and is responsible for Group wide policies and performance. This maintains our position as a leading housing provider in the Region, managing more than 4300 homes.
MMHA was established in 2005 and took over the council housing stock of North Shropshire in 2007. It has now completed a substantial improvement programme to bring all homes to the Decent Homes Standard and has commenced its own new-build programme.
SSHA was established in 1990 and took over South Shropshire’s former council homes in 1994. Its homes also meet the Decent Homes Standard and over the years the Association has built more than 400 new homes, developing a reputation for innovation and environmental awareness which has attracted national attention and awards.
TRL is a limited company wholly owned by Shropshire Housing. It delivers all property related services to the Group including maintenance, repairs, technical support, gas and heating services etc. and supports a wide range of private clients, housing associations, local authorities, private owners and so on.
The structure has proved effective but we are committed to ensuring our ongoing efficiency by regularly reviewing how the Group is managed and governed.
