Welcome!
Coronavirus
Following the Government's announcement of a further national lockdown, VHA's offices will be closed. We will remain working remotely, so if you need to contact us you can still do so via phone, email, text or letter.
If you are directly affected by the current situation and need to discuss your ability to pay your rent, please contact us as a matter of urgency.
During this time, we will only be able to respond directly to emergencies. This is to reflect Government requirements and to safeguard residents, staff and contractors.
We hope that normal service can be resumed as soon as possible. In the meantime, please check our Facebook and Twitter feeds for updates.

We hope you will find our website a source of useful, interesting, and easy to access information. We are always keen to receive feedback so we can continue to improve its profile.
