Welcome Stockport Homes is a limited company that exists to manage the housing stock owned by Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council. Stockport Homes was one of the first housing organisations in the country to achieve the IiP Gold Status. In August 2006, The Audit Commission assessed Stockport Homes and made the following statement: We have assessed Stockport Homes as providing an excellent three star service that has excellent prospects for improvement. In August 2009, Stockport Homes achieved Investors in People (IiP) Gold status. A number of options were put forward including the creation of a new company (an Arm's Length Management Organisation) to manage all housing and in so doing, bidding for extra funds for future investment. In spring 2005, all tenants within Stockport Council's properties were asked for their opinion on the future management of the housing stock. Stockport Homes works together with Stockport Council to ensure that the best results are achieved for all customers. This means that while the local Council owns the company, it operates independently from it on day-to-day matters. Stockport Homes is known as an Arm's Length Management Organisation or ALMO. In May 2010, the Audit Commission assessed Stockport Homes for a second time and again awarded the highest possible rating of three stars with excellent prospects for improvement stating in their report that Stockport Homes: 'Continues to deliver one of the best housing services in the country and develops innovative new services to improve the social and financial inclusion of its tenants and wider communities.'.
