Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust welcomes Audit Commission report
The Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust welcomes the positive inspection report from the Audit Commission. The Commission’s assessment of the Trust’s services as ‘good with promising prospects for improvement’ places the Trust in the top 25% of registered social landlords which have recently been inspected.
Lord Richard Best, Director of the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, said "We are pleased that the in-depth review by the Audit Commission deems our housing services as good. The award of two stars, which is equal to the highest scoring housing associations, is gratifying. We will be using the inspection report over the months ahead to develop our services further, including a review of those areas where the Commission makes specific recommendations".
"The Audit Commission inspection did not review our services at our residential homes which are subject to separate regulation by the Commission for Social Care Inspectorate. However, here again, we are gratified by the positive reports which we have received".
