OUR VISION

(A decent home for everyone)

 We recognise that we must increase our efforts and scale in order to provide more and better-quality Housing accommodation and support for the ever-increasing demand, both in the immediate locality of our roots but also across the UK in areas where our need is most. This is reflected in the board’s vision for Ash-Shahada: 

To become one of the top performing and trusted housing Associations of choice in the UK by Muslims, Black, Ethnic minorities, refugees and vulnerable people, by delivering excellent value and service in a commercially aware but ethical manner

 

OUR MISSION

(Even more and better homes for the vulnerable)

 Our wider remit is reflected today in our mission:

Enabling communities to thrive through the provision of affordable decent social housing and targeted support particularly for Muslims, Black and ethnic minorities, refugees and vulnerable people

 

OUR AIMS

Ash-Shahada’s aims are: 

  • To maintain an efficient and effective housing service, sensitive and responsive to the changing needs of our clients.
  • To provide general needs housing aimed at meeting the needs of black and minority ethnic people, and to maintain particular provision for Muslims, refugees, women, young single people and families.
  • To respond to new areas of need as they arise or are identified in both social and religious areas such as becoming a resource for training for skills and jobs.
  • To remain locally accountable to the communities we serve.
  • To implement our chosen strategies by using effective management systems and resource planning, and by adopting employment practices that attract and develop high calibre personnel.
