Trust mourns the loss of its Chair

Newport Housing Trust writes this with deepest sympathy, the Chair of Newport Housing Trust, Lindsay Al-Nuaimi passed away recently.

 

The staff and the Board of Directors are truly grateful to have known and worked with Lindsay. Her kindness, selflessness and strength made a real impact on the quality of life of so many people.

 

Lindsay gave so much energy and time to the Trust and to the wider community. Her efforts, ideas and compassion have made a real impact on people of all ages.

 

She will be sorely missed.

NHT Improves Service to Tenants

With effect from 1st April, Newport Housing Trust has brought management of the maintenance function in-house. For the past nine years, the management of the maintenance for Newport Housing Trust properties has been out-sourced. Following consultation with tenants and a review of the Housing Management and Maintenance function, Newport Housing Trust decided it was time to move forward and bring the management of their maintenance in-house. This will enable closer contact with the contractors overall resulting in providing a better service for their tenants.
