South Yorkshire Housing Association (SYHA) and Elim Housing have both officially merged with housing association giant Places for People (PfP).

The deals mean SYHA, which manages 5,700 homes across Yorkshire, and 900-home Bristol-based Elim Housing, have today joined 260,000-home PfP as subsidiaries. They will be integrated fully into PfP over the next year before folding entirely into the larger landlord at a later date.
