Board Member - Chair of Board

Manningham Housing Association (MHA) is 30 years old and has a proud track record of delivering homes and services to the communities in Bradford and Keighley. MHA came into existence in 1986 following a piece of research undertaken into the housing needs of Black and Asian Communities in Bradford by the Bangladeshi Youth Organisation based in Bradford. This research proved that the needs of the South Asian Community were not being addressed and the government and the council supported MHA growing from an organisation with two properties to one that now has over 1400 homes and houses over 6000 residents. With an annual turnover of £8.5 million and a staff base of 29 colleagues we are a small organisation but we have always aspired high to meet our achievements.

We aim to provide good quality affordable homes and services for those in the greatest need in the Bradford district. Over 80% of our residents are of Bangladeshi or Pakistani origin but we cater for all those in need. Our customer satisfaction levels are extremely high and are consistently in the 90% plus bracket – we sum up our ambition in this area as providing a “hassle-free” housing service to our customers.

As a community focused organisation we are keen to attract a skilled and passionate new member to the Board who brings knowledge and experience of the local community in Bradford and in particular understands the issues, challenges and opportunities in BME communities.
