All Housing Plus properties benefit from an onsite Housing Plus staff member offering a friendly face and day-to-day support as well as help with arranging repairs and ensuring communal areas are clean and secure.

Sam Brewer is based at Bamburgh House in Westerhope. Sam has worked for Your Homes Newcastle for 13 years and said:



“After people move in to one of our properties they often tell us how safe and comfortable they feel in their new homes, which is what it’s all about for us.



“We’re on hand to help when anyone needs us, whether that’s with practical issues like reporting repairs or paying rent, or just being a friendly face to talk to so people don’t feel isolated or lonely.



“We also offer a daily call for people who might need a little extra support or to give extra peace of mind for our customers and their families, which has been a lifeline for many during the pandemic.”



Mrs Wood moved into our Allerdale development in Chapel House in September. She said:



“Moving in felt very safe even during Covid. Everyone kept their distance and gave me plenty of space.



“My property is lovely and spacious with plenty of storage and it’s nicely situated in an area I know near the shops.



“Katie and Vicky are my Housing Plus workers and they’re on the end of the phone if I need anything. I think there can be stigma around moving into older people’s housing but I think it’s perfect.”
