'It is personal. I grew up in social housing and I know the value of a safe, secure tenancy. It enabled me to have the life I have had, a life of huge privilege and I want everybody in West Yorkshire to have that same opportunity.”
"It is almost two years since I became Mayor of West Yorkshire and one of my commitments was 5,000 affordable sustainable homes for our region. It is personal. I grew up in social housing and I know the value of a safe, secure tenancy.
"It enabled me to have the life I have had, a life of huge privilege and I want everybody in West Yorkshire to have that same opportunity.” Mr Denton said he had also lived in social housing and knows how having a secure place to live helps children’s educational achievements. He said he hopes the partnership will build on the agency’s existing work in places such as Bradford and Dewsbury.
