Housing Association in Bradford announces the appointment of a new vice chairperson
Cym D'Souza Joins Manningham Housing Association's Board
Cym D'Souza, a qualified chartered accountant with extensive experience in the housing sector, has joined the board of Manningham Housing Association (MHA). D'Souza, who served as the chief executive of Arawak Walton Housing Association for almost 25 years before stepping down last autumn, expressed excitement about contributing to the delivery of MHA's plans.
Manningham Housing Association, recognized as one of the leading BME housing associations in the country, is known for its commitment to providing high-quality homes and improving the life experiences of surrounding communities. The organization manages over 1,400 homes for more than 6,000 residents in Bradford and Keighley.
D'Souza's appointment comes at a time when MHA is looking to build on the progress it has made in recent years. The association was the first housing association in the country to receive official accreditation for its work on promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion. However, a search of available information did not reveal specific details about D'Souza's role or impact on MHA's approach to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion.
Prior to her role at Arawak Walton, D'Souza was chair at BME National, an umbrella organization for black and minority ethnic (BME) housing associations. She has also been a member of numerous boards in the commercial and housing sectors.
In May 2022, the Church of England announced the Church Housing Association in response to the housing crisis. D'Souza was recently appointed vice chair of this organization.
It is worth noting that D'Souza's involvement with MHA's equality, diversity, and inclusion initiatives may not be fully reflected in the current search results. For detailed insights, consulting official Manningham Housing Association reports, their website, or direct organizational communications would be necessary.
