Jersey Homes Trust Secures £60 Million for Affordable Housing Investment

The Jersey Homes Trust (JHT), recognized as Jersey’s largest independent social housing provider, has secured a £60 million funding boost. The organization states this capital will facilitate its continued long-term investment in affordable housing. The JHT indicated that this new funding would establish a revised financial arrangement, with the money provided by M&G Investments, a UK-based savings and investment company. Phil Le Cornu, who chairs the trust, stated that the funding is intended to replace all existing loans and will not impact any current JHT tenants. He commented: “It’s simply a way for the trust to plan for and meet future housing demand in this sector.” Mr. Le Cornu further elaborated: “This arrangement enables us to maintain a healthy cash flow for reinvestment into island housing stock for the next 25 years.” He affirmed: “We remain dedicated to addressing the needs of islanders.” He concluded by stating: “Our ongoing development projects and management efforts continue to make a significant impact on the island’s housing landscape, helping to alleviate the strain on families in need of safe, stable, and affordable accommodation.”
