Wakefield and District Housing (WDH) became the largest single housing stock transfer organisation in 2005, taking responsibility for over 31,000 homes in the Wakefield District. WDH’s vision is to create confident communities. We will do this by: Helping to build a more competitive knowledge-based economy through local innovation and by having a skilled and flexible workforce. Creating socially inclusive communities, reducing deprivations and inequality. Improving the quality of Wakefield’s environment by providing better housing. WDH have secured one of the largest investment funds in the country to bring all homes up to the ‘Wakefield Standard’. The Wakefield Standard is to a higher specification than the Government’s Decent Homes Standard.
