What is the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust?
The Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, separately established in 1968, is a charity and a registered social landlord. It is part of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and its Trustees and staff are also the Trustees and staff of the JRF.
The Trust owns the freehold of nearly all the properties in New Earswick (including homes for rent and shared ownership, the shops, the communal facilities and the schools). The Trust acts as the landlord for the rented property and supports the community and educational activities in the village.
It also carries out housing schemes in York and elsewhere in Yorkshire. These are of a developmental nature, demonstrating new forms of tenure, meeting special needs and exploring new features of design.
The Housing Trust is based at The Garth in New Earswick:
