The Accord Way
- Co-operative
We work collaboratively with and across teams
and we are community-focused
Accord works in a range of collaborative partnerships to
deliver services which promote equality and diversity
and /or which tackle prejudice and disadvantage. These
partnerships range from work with our customers and
communities through to government departments and
like-minded external agencies and organisations
Co-operating though tenant management
Accord has a long history of facilitating and supporting
co-production and delivery of servicing and tenant
management through housing co-operatives and other
tenant management options
Throughout our history, we have developed innovative
and new solutions to help people apply co-operative
principles to resolve housing issues.
We are the country’s leading provider of tenant designed
and planned housing. We understand how to work
with communities to give them real control power and
ownership in both the development and management of
their own homes.
We are committed to delivering the very best and
highest quality new affordable co-operative housing. We
do this by involving our residents in the design of their
new homes and by empowering potential residents to
personalise their future home.
Since 1979, the Birmingham Co-operative Housing
Services (bchs) division of Accord has developed more
than 50 housing co-ops and community-controlled
housing projects most of which operate in some of the
most diverse communities in the Midlands
