A housing association operating in London has been commended by the Housing Corporation, it has been revealed.

Gallions Housing Association, which manages properties in Greenwich, Bexley and Bromley, has been given the highest possible mark across all four indicators of performance.

Such criteria are financial viability, management, development and governance, with the housing body receiving a green light in each of these areas.

Rona Nicholson, director of the Housing Corporation’’s London office, claimed that the report "demonstrates that they [Gallions] have successfully met or exceeded the standards set across all four key performance areas needed to ensure the quality of the services they offer to the people of London".

Tony Cotter, chief executive for the housing association, claimed the report signifies the body’’s ability to build and manage affordable homes within the capital.

Such news might be of interest to those people who are seeking housing jobs.

Earlier this month the Housing Corporation claimed that in spite of the difficulties currently being experienced in the housing sector those with jobs in housing associations should be able to manage through the economic downturn.
