South Devon Rural Housing Acquires New Homes
Choice Based Lettings in Devon
We value feedback on our services and your interaction with the association - so e-mail us with your thoughts and comments at feedback@southdevonrural.com
An innovative plan to provide more affordable homes has been agreed between South Hams District Council and South Devon Rural Housing Association.
The association has a number of properties which it lets at 80% of the prevailing market rent, under a scheme developed in collaboration with South Hams District Council, under the acronym SHIRE (South Hams Intermediate Rental Enterprise)
The homes purchased from the private market and brought up to the Association's letting standard, will be let directly to people on the Council's housing register. To see if you are eligible to be considered for this scheme, please contact Michelle Smith on 01803 863550.
South Hams District Council will contribute (£10,000 as an equity loan) per property as part of the joint funding package with South Devon Rural Housing. To date the Association has purchased 15 homes in Totnes, Ivybridge and Dartmouth with plans to develop new build homes under the scheme in 2010.
Our improved and expanded Day Care Services are now taking a limited number of new clients, please contact Monika, Day Services Co-ordinator in the first instance on 05602053295 or 01803 863532.

WE NEED YOU!
South Devon Rural Housing Association is a small community based organisation, providing housing and other related services to communities mainly within the South Hams. We rely on local people within our area of operation to become shareholders and to become Board Members on a voluntary basis. We are particularly looking for new members who have skills or experience in the following areas: Finance, Building and Development, Legal or experience of services for older people.
It is important to recruit new shareholders and Board Members to ensure the organisation remains independent and is influenced by local people. Please give Steve Prime a ring for an informal chat about what becoming a shareholder or Board Member entails on 01803 847591.
