Knowsley Housing Trust (KHT), part of the First Ark Group, has started work on its first scheme in the Homes and Communities Agency’s 2011/15 National Affordable Housing Programme.
The £737,000 project at Bracknell Avenue in Kirkby will provide six new homes for affordable rent.
The houses are being built by Knowsley-based Fairtree Homes.
KHT was awarded £5m from the HCA in the NAHP bidding programme last year. The funds will build 229 homes across Knowsley from now until 2015.
Stephen Heverin, KHT Operational Director of Investment, said: “We are very pleased to get the first homes in this programme underway.
“This investment will provide a huge boost to the supply of housing in Knowsley and will offer hundreds of families the chance of a home.”
