The members of the Adactus Group Structure are a group of housing associations that work closely together to provide and manage affordable housing for rent and shared ownership in the North West of England.

Our shared mission is:

“To build, acquire and manage safe, warm and affordable housing predominately for those who are unable to pay market rates.”

“To respond effectively to the demands of our customers.”

“To make a difference in neighbourhoods by levering in resources and helping to focus community activity.”

The members of the Adactus Group Structure work towards this mission by all helping to implement a group business plan.  They report their progress each year in their financial statements and in their annual reports.  Customers are also kept informed about activities through the news articles we post on our blog and the newsletters we regularly produce and post to our tenants and leaseholders.

Our properties are located across the North West of England.  In the map below, darker colours show our concentrations of property. Click on the map to view a larger version.

The members of the Adactus Group Structure are each governed by a voluntary board of management.

The boards meet quarterly to make key decisions, help to shape the direction of each housing association, and monitor their performance.

It isn't easy to switch landlords so in performing their duties, each board of management draws on the needs and desires of customers identified through our extensive resident involvement activities.

The members of the Adactus Group Structure believe that transparency in decision-making helps to drive good governance and is a key component in ensuring the effective co-regulation required by our regulator, the Homes and Communities Agency.  To this end, we publish our board papers online and blog about the key decisons taken.  We also undertake extensive customer involvement and research through the range of means set out in our Resident Involvement Framework.

We believe we are leading the way with our implementation of innovative resident involvement ideas such as the Neighbourhood Fund and the Adactus500.

The members of the Adactus Group Structure share senior staff whose job is to run each organisation within the business plan, strategies and policies agreed by the board.

Our major source of income is from the rents we charge on our properties.  We use this money to cover our big costs which are costs associated with the repairs and maintenance of our properties, building new properties, our staffing and our loan repayments.  Our Financial Statements detail all of our financial ins-and-outs.

When we build new properties we normally receive some government grant via the Homes and Communities Agency to put towards our own cash or borrowings.  This helps make the development financially stack-up so that it can be let at affordable rents.

We publish our development expenditure in order to demonstrate that the government money we receive is being well spent.

We have clear policies in place to enable anyone to make a complaint about our organisation and for our tenants and leaseholders, or their neighbours, to report incidents of anti-social behaviour to us.
