CHP returns to top Governance rating from the Social Housing Regulator

Essex housing association and parent company of Myriad Capital PLC, Chelmer Housing Partnership Ltd (CHP) has regained the top 'G1' grading having strengthened its governance arrangements.

The Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) published its judgement today, 28 March 2018. This means that CHP has the top ratings for both financial viability (V1) and Governance (G1).

Keith Andrew, Chair of the CHP Group Board said: "In October 2017, as a result of changes approved by our Company Members, we appointed a new Board of Trustees who were all recruited for their skills and expertise. Together with the Executive Management Team we have been working to ensure a very high quality of governance, to improve the risk management and stress testing of our business plan, and we will continue to provide excellent homes and services for our residents."

Alongside the top G1 governance grading the RSH report also reaffirmed the top ratings for financial viability stating: "Based on evidence gained from the stability check, the regulator has assurance that CHP's financial plans are consistent with, and support, its financial strategy. The provider has an adequately funded business plan, sufficient security in place, and is forecast to continue to meet its financial covenants under a wide range of adverse scenarios."
