Formally coming together – new opportunity for United Communities |
Merger questionnaire
United Communities was set up in 2013 as a strategic alliance between two associations - Bristol Community Housing Foundation (BCHF) and United Housing Association (UHA). The alliance has been in place for nearly 4 years and the two associations have been able to share services and staff. By working together, we have made significant financial savings which we have invested in improving our services and building new homes. We now have the opportunity to legally merge the two associations to form United Communities as one organisation.
We believe this is the best option for us as it would reduce some of the paperwork and red tape in operating two separate associations and enable us to borrow more money to build the affordable homes that are so desperately needed. There would be little difference to you as residents, all our main services would stay the same and your tenancy rights and conditions would not change. Before the Board make a final decision on this we want to hear your views about us formally coming together as United Communities.
