We will be purchasing around 70 homes this year and refurbishing them to provide high quality, affordable housing for local people – with a total of 241 homes planned for purchase over the next four years.
A total of £34 million is being invested in the scheme, which will bring these properties back into use and help towards meeting the high demand for council homes in our city. They will all be finished to a high standard with modern facilities, providing comfortable, safe and secure homes.
The properties will be in locations across the city and include different property types, such as bungalows, flats and houses. All will have between 2-4 bedrooms which will ensure that they are suitable for a range of people with different needs.
Dave Richmond, Chief Executive of St Leger Homes, said:
“I’m delighted that this scheme is enabling us to help even more local people in need of quality, affordable housing for them and their families.
“This programme shows our commitment to working towards meeting the high demand for affordable housing in the city.”
Cllr Glyn Jones, Cabinet member for Housing and Business, said:
“As well as increasing the number of homes we can offer to people through the Doncaster Housing Register, this scheme is playing an important role in helping us bring more affordable homes back across the city.”
