天涯社区 was the first authority in Wales to set up its own 
housing company back in 2014.
Less than two years on and the company is going from strength to strength.
Designed to respond to the challenges experienced by residents in accessing 
affordable housing, NEW Homes (North East Wales Homes) was set up by the 
Council to increase the housing options available to local residents. It offers 
tailored housing management services which are designed to increase the 
quantity and quality of affordable housing across the county.   
And the company has just rented out its 50th property at Overlea Drive, 
Hawarden.

rental in less than 2 years to Andrew Trinder.  We hope to continue to provide 
quality rental properties and a quality service to the residents of 天涯社区 
for years to come.鈥
