  • York Housing Association is founded in 1964, contemporaneous with York’s new University. Amongst the founder members is the late Professor Patrick Nuttgens.

  • First property is a terraced house in Bootham Crescent, followed by the conversion of two adjoining properties in Marygate to student accommodation. One costs £1912 to buy and the other £1958, with conversion a further £2900.

  • York Housing Association has no offices at first, meetings are held on University premises at Kings’ Manor: then we use a converted shop front at 142 Micklegate.

  • Further student accommodation is provided in Heslington Road.

  • In this era, all the work of the Association is carried out by the Committee, on a voluntary basis.
