The transfer of the housing management service to Stevenage Borough Council from its arms-length management organisation Stevenage Homes Limited took effect on 1 December 2011.
The decision to transfer housing management was made at a council meeting in September. It followed several months of consultation and research, and took into account the results of a test of tenants' and leaseholders' opinions and a telephone survey.
Stevenage Homes staff have now transferred to Stevenage Borough Council employment and are continuing with their day-to-day activities in housing management. The Stevenage Homes name and logo will continue to be used.
