Jewish Housing
Working with others to provide Jewish housing
We believe that, by working in partnership with other organisations, often far more can be achieved together than any of us would be able to deliver working alone. IDS has many examples of effective partnership working.
As an experienced provider of culturally-specific housing, we are delighted to be able to work with others providing an element of housing for Jewish people on larger, mixed developments.
Ajex Housing Association
In 1997 we began to manage Ajex Housing Association housing which is providing sheltered accommodation for Jewish ex-servicemen and women and their dependents. After several years, the volunteers who ran Ajex HA felt it was time to transfer ownership of the property to IDS and this was completed in April 2006.
Working with Jewish Blind & Disabled
We work closely with Jewish Blind & Disabled in the management and running of Hilary Dennis Court in Wanstead.
Properties in Canvey Island
In September 2017, we acquired our first four properties in Canvey Island, Essex providing homes for four Jewish families who are part of a new community establishing themselves there.
