Aire Valley Homes Leeds is one of three new Arms Length Management Organisations (ALMOs) that were set up in April 2007 to manage council housing in Leeds. 

An ALMO is a not-for-profit company set up by the Council to manage and improve the housing stock.

Although an ALMO is a company wholly owned by the local authority, it is an autonomous self-governing organisation. Each ALMO has a board of directors, which includes tenants, local authority nominees and independent members.

The organisation operates under the terms of a management agreement between the council and the ALMO.

We are responsible for:

• your local housing office
• collecting your rent
• managing your estates
• inspecting and arranging day-to-day repairs to your homes
• dealing with breaches of tenancy
• consulting you as a council tenant and making sure that you, and all tenants, have a say in the future of your area
• letting council homes
• managing and arranging the modernisation and improvement of council homes
• employing staff
