English Rural was selected as the preferred housing association by NFVHA after a competitive process.“English Rural’s own business strategy is to work with smaller specialist rural housing associations to make sure that they are secure, well-run and able to deliver on a shared purpose. It also helps us award a priority. There is clear geographic synergy as English Rural operates predominantly in the south of England. The merger sees NFVHA becoming a subsidiary of English Rural, strengthening a shared strategic direction by increasing an ability to deliver quality homes and services in rural communities. Our Housing Strategy sets our vision for housing in the New Forest District.
