The 225 new homes we provided last year for rent and low cost home ownership.

The 357 homes we let last year, so providing housing for many in need.

Our £6 million partnership with Cardiff Council to regenerate the ‘Trowbridge shops’ site on Caernarvon Way to provide new homes, shops and a community centre.
-
Our work with our tenants and communities and the opening of the Adamsdown Community Garden.
For the first time the report is bi-lingual. If you would like a paper copy, much preferable given its calendar format, please Click Here to request one and we’ll happily send it on to you.
All our tenants have already been sent a copy.

Lastly, a lingering ray of summer: our late-summer edition of our tenants’ newsletter, CHAT, (sent out to all our tenants in late August) is now up on the site.
AGM 2007: Thank You To You All For Making It A Success
Our AGM this year was held on 12th September 2007 at Cardiff Museum and attended by around 100 guests, around half of whom were CCHA tenants.
We think the evening was a great success; guests had exclusive access to two of the Museum’s finest exhibitions which we hope they found enjoyable.
Thanks are in order to the following:
-
Linda Whittaker, Director of Housing at the Welsh Assembly Government, who did an excellent job as our guest speaker.
-
Joan Lewis, Chair of the Tenant Representative Council, for her superb presentation on the work of CCHA’s TRC.
-
Members of the TRC who helped with the AGM surveys carried out on our customer services and probationary tenancies.
And finally, a big thank you to all CCHA tenants who turn up year in, year out and loyally support the evening and the Association.
A selection of pictures taken at the event will form a part of next months News Update!
See you all next year on the 9th July 2008.
£40,000 Funding Boost For CCHA Community Halls
CCHA’s Community Development Co-ordinator, Sue Anscombe, has enjoyed a successful few weeks, as a result of two successful grant funding bids – and CCHA’s community halls in Tremorfa, Adamsdown and Trowbridge are to be the beneficiaries:
-
Our Tremorfa Hall, thanks to a ‘Better Buildings for Communities’ grant is to receive £16k for a new kitchen and baby changing facilities.
-
The Adamsdown Tenants and Community Resource Centre and Trowbridge Mawr Community Hall are to receive £24k of new computer equipment and training funded by a grant from the Assembly’s Communities @ One initiative. The initiaitve helps people in the most disadvantaged communites in Wales get access to new technologies so they can fulfil their social, economic and cultural potential.
-
So, very soon, users of both these halls will have the opportunity to use and receive computer training to help improve their IT skills.
We are delighted to have been able to help obtain this funding for the Halls and believe the enhanced facilities will be of great benefit to the communities concerned.
For further information: please contact Sue Anscombe, our Community Development Co-ordinator on 029 2046 8417 or email Susan.Anscombe@ccha.org.uk.
Sanquahar Street Development – Up And Running
|
New Apartment Development Continues 30-Year Commitment to Working in Splott We’re delighted to announce that work has started on 40 new apartments for rent at Sanquahar Street in Splott, only three months after the offical launch of the project! |
 |
The five-storey development is on the site of the former ‘Railway Club’ and is being developed with the support of Cardiff County Council and the Welsh Assembly Government.
The £4 million pound scheme is made up of:
-
31 one bedroom apartments
-
9 two bedroom apartments
 |
All the apartments will have high-quality fitted kitchens and bathrooms and meet all the Assembly’s required space and amenity standards. CCHA already owns several hundred properties in Splott so it’s great to be providing new homes again in one of the Association’s traditional communities – our last major scheme in Splott was Moorland Road apartments, which were completed in 2004. |
Although we’ve been building new homes in Splott for over thirty years now, this scheme is the first one that’s been developed in an ‘open-book’ partnership arrangement with the developer, Midas.
The scheme will be the first of this kind built by the Integrate Consortium supply-chain using collaborative building principles. CCHA is one of the founder members of Integrate.
