Care Housing Association

Care HA work in partnership with us to offer innovative and market leading housing opportunities, which put charity and community at the heart of their offering. We first worked with Care HA on a development of 6 supported living apartments in Kirklees, which gave 6 local people the chance to live independently for the first time. This development delivered a huge impact, with the customers there achieving more and more each year and seeing their support hours reduce as they became confident in managing the aspects of their daily life.

Avalon is currently working on new developments with Care Housing, and we are proud to call them partners and friends.
