Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust partners with Avant Homes to deliver 69 new homes in Yorkshire
Avant Homes North Yorkshire has partnered with the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust (JRHT) to deliver 69 new and affordable homes.
The new homes will be built at Greensward Point in Easingwold and Greenlock Place in Leeds, both Avant Homes developments.
JRHT, a social housing and care provider in Yorkshire and the North East, has committed to providing 1,000 new and affordable homes by 2029.
Chris Simpson, executive director at JRHT, said: “Good quality homes enhance our lives and support our health. Everyone in the UK should have access to an affordable and safe home.
“Partnering with Avant Homes helps us to provide more affordable homes to those in the greatest need, contributing to our goal of providing 1,000 new and affordable homes by 2029.”
JRHT will offer the 69 homes through social rent or their shared ownership programme.
The developers said the homes will be rated B or higher for the Energy Performance Certificate.
At Greensward Point in Easingwold, the development will include two and three-bedroom detached and semi-detached properties. The first 12 homes have already been handed over to the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, with the remaining 22 homes expected to be completed by summer 2025.
Rented homes in Easingwold will be advertised through the North Yorkshire Home Choice scheme.
In Greenlock Place in Leeds, Avant Homes will offer one and two-bedrooms flats, as well as two and three bedroom semi-detached properties, all anticipated to be ready by summer 2025.
Rented homes in Leeds will be advertised by Leeds City Council through Leeds Homes.
Avant Homes group head of affordable housing delivery, Phil Lacey, said: “We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust so that we can deliver our vision of providing quality homes, for everyone.”
