The latest from Rivers House in Middlesbrough. Esh is converting the former office building into 18 supported housing apartments for Thirteen Group. A new two-storey extension will house 4 apartments while the original building has been re-modelled into 14 apartments.

Great to visit #Middlesbrough with Ian Wardle Chief Exec @thirteen_group Good to see BoHouse North + Thirteen’s Gresham development - both excellent examples of housing-led regeneration + the role of housing associations as place-makers. #ukhousing #levellingup #regeneration

We were delighted to welcome @ACunninghamMP to Thirteen’s Recycling Centre last week to demonstrate how it’s playing a big part in our environmental agenda.

By listening to customers and colleagues we've reduced patch sizes for housing services colleagues. We can resolve customer queries quicker and it will reduce colleague workloads. Inc roles from 99 to 119. Welcomed some new colleagues to Thirteen Group and also promotions.

We warmly welcome scrapping 80:20 to secure more investment in brownfield regeneration in the North. Thank you to those who have listened and helped us make the case. Now all future #housing and infrastructure investment must be designed to #LevelUp #levellingupwhitepaper
