About this company
They formed a charitable housing association and others joined them in the enterprise as they acquired a site and built Cedarmore Court, a sheltered housing scheme for older people in Chislehurst. The success and popularity of this scheme encouraged them to plan for another development and to take advantage of new housing legislation. They were able to register CHA as a housing association and apply for a Housing Association Grant towards a second scheme. This enabled them to build Southmore Court in Bromley as a more enclosed sheltered project for 24 people with an additional communal lounge and kitchen.
