In 1972, after watching the BBC drama Cathy Come Home, SYHA’s founder John Belcher began a small housing association helping homeless families in Sheffield. The organisation grew into South Yorkshire Housing Association, and over forty years later we are still providing high-quality, affordable, well-designed homes: retrofitting, renovating, and creating homes throughout South Yorkshire. We won Landlord of the Year at the 2021 UK Housing Awards. We manage over 6,000 homes across South Yorkshire, but our work is more than housing. We work with people to settle, live well and flourish in their homes and community, by providing employment, wellbeing and support services and opportunities.
