PartnersWhat we do
We are a new resident-led not for profit housing association, registered both as a company limited by guarantee and as a charity. Not for profit means that all of our income is spent on housing and community services, providing new homes and repaying loans. We are registered with and regulated by the Housing Corporation. We are a subsidiary of Metropolitan Housing Trust and a member of Metropolitan Housing Partnership.
Our capital programme will be funded in part by Housing Corporation “Social Housing Grant”, in part by New Deal for Communities Grant through Clapham Park Project, and in part through private loans, a large proportion of which will be paid back through the outright sale of homes and the balance from rental income.
In June 2006, the ownership and management of 1,967 homes on the Clapham Park Estates were transferred to Clapham Park Homes from Lambeth Council. This was because Clapham Park residents voted in March 2005 to transfer to the new housing association, rather than stay with the council. In a high turnout of eligible residents, 59.3% of tenants and 62.8% of leaseholders voted yes.
We will offer a range of housing solutions within the Clapham Park Estates, including permanent rented homes, of which some will cater for those with special needs, and homes for sale, including low cost home ownership initiatives.
We will also offer a limited range of temporary accommodation while we are managing a property that is due to be demolished as part of the Masterplan.
