Welcome to Petersfield Housing Association limited

Our Mission Statement

Petersfield Housing Association exists to provide good quality affordable homes and excellent services.

Our key values are:

Independence
The Association aims to continue to operate as an independent organisation and to build on the aspirations of its founder members that formed the Association in 1973.

Locally based
The Association wishes to retain its close local links and support local people and businesses and as such our area of operation is defined as being within ½ hour drive of Petersfield

Quality
The Association wishes to provide good quality housing and services which will not only benefit the residents but also enhance their quality of life. We will also demonstrate, deliver and promote recognised good practice within the sector.

Working in partnership
The Association is keen to work in partnership with the local authority, other housing associations and organisations whenever this will benefit the provision of local housing and services.

Value for money
The Association aims to ensure that we are delivering competitive, high quality services that represent value for money for our residents

Sound financial management
The Association is prudent in its financial management. This ensures a strong and viable future with the ability to continue to develop new homes and maintain our existing homes and services to a high standard.

Integrity
The Board and staff operate in an environment which supports the highest levels of integrity: where openness is encouraged across all our activities and with our stakeholders and partners. Our governance is regularly reviewed to ensure appropriate controls and accountability across all areas of our business.

Petersfield HA was founded in 1973 on the initiative of the local Council of Churches who were looking to find ways of providing homes for those who could not afford the high property prices in East Hampshire. The same is very true today. The Board has always comprised of local people with the interests of the local community at heart and as such their area of activity has been largely restricted to Petersfield and the immediately surrounding villages.

Although PHA is a founder member of the Wayfarer Consortium it is also completely independent and wishes to remain so.

We are proud that great emphasis is placed on the fact that being a small association enables the housing staff to be close to the tenants. Our office operates an "open door" policy and no appointments are needed to speak directly to any member of staff.

Emphasis has also has been placed on maintaining the Association's properties to a high standard.

The Association is strong financially. Prudent financial management over the years leaves sufficient funds available to meet the objectives of the Business Plan.
