Three housing associations are now one in Liverpool as housing associations merge

Three Liverpool housing associations – CDS Housing, Greater Hornby Housing Association (Hornby Homes) and New Generation Housing Association - have today come together to form Plus Dane Merseyside.

The move, which has been approved by Tenants Services Authority, follows extensive consultation with tenants and aims to gather the strengths to the three housing associations and improve efficiency. This should not affect any housing association jobs however.

It may even create significant financial savings, enabling Plus Dane to reinvest those savings to boost the services it provides to residents.

In July 2008, Cheshire based Dane Housing Group successfully merged with Merseyside based Plus Housing Group to create the Plus Dane Housing Group.

The Group has over 15,000 homes in ownership and management across the region and works as being a neighbourhood investor (Ni), spending less on running the business plus much more on its homes and also neighbourhoods it serves, with the aim of creating and sustaining vibrant places to live.

In merging its 3 subsidiaries to create Plus Dane Merseyside, the Group will also rename its Cheshire operations as Plus Dane Cheshire.

Ken Perry, Chief Executive of Plus Dane Group, said: “As being a neighbourhood investor, Plus Dane is devoted to providing the very best service to our customers and maximising the resources we are able to put into our homes and neighbourhoods to help improve quality of life, choice and opportunity for local people.

"Amalgamating our three Merseyside housing organisations will enable us to unite their strengths and enhance the service we provide to our tenants, whilst ensuring that we continue to deliver on our commitment to spending less on running our business, and putting more investment into our neighbourhoods.”
