Tenants Agree Transfer from ALMO

Tenants in Oldham have become the first in the country to vote in favour of transferring their homes from a successful ALMO. 86% of tenants at First Choice Homes Oldham, which manages Oldham Council’s housing stock, have voted to transfer the ownership and management of the local authority’s 12,000 homes. A total of 9,000 tenants voted in the ballot. The homes will be transferred to First Choice Homes, which will become a housing association. The transfer will see £149 million invested in the homes over the next five years. Read the full story on the Inside Housing website by clicking on the logo below.
