Connect Housing Association

I have a slight indirect experience of this place, as I dealt with the staff quite a bit when I was temping at a charity. Many of out clients would be housed with connect and it was an association that always seemed to treat its tenants well.
The application process can be quite long and tedious for some housing associations but this one was quite straight forward. The staff I spoke to were always helpful and informative and it wasn’t hard to track down the person you needed to speak to.
The quality of the properties was always remarked to be of a high standard with reasonable rent.

Connect Housing is a not for profit organisation in Leeds that is a founder member of Synergy. Their tag-​line ‘homes, communities, cultures’ is a great insight into what they, as an organisation, are all about.
Working alongside other organisations, Connect help support and regenerate housing. They help people find homes through buying or transferring, repair problems with homes, and encourage community activities.
Areas in and around Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield are highly culturally diverse and residents can sometimes be subject to discrimination. Connect understand this and aim to involve their tenants in community based projects which may help decrease any anti-​social activity towards people, and to promote a positive out look for the people in the community.
