EVESHAM and Pershore Housing Association (EPHA), the founder association of the Rooftop Housing Group, has been awarded a three-star ‘excellent’ rating by the Audit Commission.

Every year the Audit Commission recognises the achievements of housing organisations that obtained the highest judgement possible in an inspection during the previous year.

The group’s chief executive Ian Hughes said everyone connected with the organisation was delighted with the inspection result.

“We have always strived for excellence and set ourselves the highest possible standards and so it is fantastic to have our efforts recognised in such glowing terms by the Audit Commission,” he said.

“In recent years we have really focused on achieving our key objectives and the three-star rating is therefore a welcome acknowledgement of our success.

“Of course, none of this would have happened without the hard work and commitment of the people at Rooftop and also our residents who have supported us in what we have done and what we are trying to do.”

The awards were presented by Housing Minister John Healey MP who said: “They are testament to the practical housing help these organisations offer day in day out, that makes such a difference to people’s lives.

“A key priority for me as housing minister is to ensure committed professionals like these get the support they need to continue doing a great job.”
