We are delighted to announce a development in our housing provision in Sussex.
Earlier this year, Sussex Overseas Housing Society (SOHS), a long-standing housing society based in Hove, approached YMCA DownsLink Group with a proposal to transfer its assets and operations.
The transfer includes seven residential properties in Hove, comprising 19 units of accommodation currently occupied primarily by general needs tenants with some leaseholders, plus 10 garages on one of the sites.
After a series of positive discussions, both our organisations found our values and aims were closely aligned. To ensure the homes continue to serve those in need, SOHS formally expressed its wish to transfer its assets to us at no cost.
SOHS Chair John Puttock said: “We are pleased to see these properties transferred to an organisation whose values and commitment to community housing mirror our own. This move ensures the homes will continue to serve those in need for years to come.”
Our CEO, Emily Brock, (pictured above) said: “We are delighted to have this significant opportunity to add to our housing provision in Sussex and we’d like to thank SOHS for making this possible.”
