Tenants in west London have warned that a plan to create
one of the UK’s biggest housing associations will lead to the social cleansing
of poorer families from wealthy areas. The proposed merger between London-based
housing associations Notting Hill Housing (NHH) and Genesis, would create a
mega landlord with a combined annual turnover of £676m and 65,000 homes in
management, many in sight of Grenfell Tower, which was destroyed by fire in
June. But the associations have between them sold off 800 street properties in
the last five years and used the proceeds to build more homes in cheaper areas,
leading to fears that further sell-offs are planned. Read more on the Guardian
