Derwent & Solway Housing Association

Derwent and Solway Housing Association opened for business in Allerdale in March 1999 but it has a heritage that goes back to the turn of the century. Derwent and Solway inherited both the social housing developed over the years by Allerdale Borough Council and the expertise in managing rented housing gained from those years of experience. It has a network of local housing offices and has made a commitment to invest millions of pounds over the next few years in the housing it owns. Although Derwent and Solway has a local management board which includes among its members four tenants and four local councillors, it benefits from being a member of the Harvest Housing Group, one of Britain's fastest growing and most diverse providers of rented homes.

Impact Housing Association

Impact Housing Association works solely in Cumbria, being founded in Cleator Moor in 1975. It manages over 2,300 homes throughout the County and has offices in Carlisle and Penrith as well as in Workington and Salterbeck in Allerdale. Impact prides itself on maintaining all its properties in good condition and has some of the lowest rents in the region. It has adopted choice base lettings to allocate properties. This provides greater choice for people to find property - more information is available on their website.  Impact houses people with a range of needs - families, single people and elderly persons as well as people with additional support needs. However, Impact sees its role as being much more than a traditional landlord. It believes it has a responsibility to communities where it works and is involved in a number of community ventures to improve local communities and create employment opportunities.

Two Castles Housing Association

Two Castles Housing Association is a well established provider of rented homes, with its roots and origins firmly based in Cumbria. We aim to address the needs of individuals and families as well as the needs of the wider community. We react positively to the changing needs of our tenants and always try to offer rehousing options in line with their changed circumstances. As we have more applications than we have properties to let, we use a simple points system to ensure that our homes are offered to those in the greatest need. It is also our policy to offer equal opportunities to all applicants, regardless of race, religion, colour, ethnic origin, sexual orientation or marital status.

Westfield Housing Association

Westfield Housing Association was established in 1950 to provide housing for key workers coming to Workington for employment in the iron and steel industry. When the British Steel Corporation withdrew from direct provision of housing, in the early 1980s, the Association registered with the Housing Corporation as an independent body. Since then, Westfield has built around 100 new homes and, in 1993 following a successful ballot of Allerdale Borough Council tenants in Westfield, accepted 223 homes from the Council. Westfield which operates solely within Allerdale - has since expanded its service beyond its own housing stock, offering a management service to private landlords and a maintenance service to home owners.
