| IDS
was established as the Four Per Cent Dwellings Company
in 1885 by a group of Jewish philanthropists who hoped
to relieve the overcrowding in homes in the East End of
London.
In 1952,
it became the Industrial Dwellings Society (1885) Ltd.
Today,
IDS manages over 1,300 properties in Hackney, Tower
Hamlets, Southwark, Redbridge and Barnet.
The
housing stock includes flats, houses, sheltered housing,
accommodation for people with special needs, as well
as a number of shared ownership properties.
We
currently employ fifty staff, including residentially
based teams.
We
have an on-going development portfolio, and enjoy enviable
performance statistics in housing management and tenant
satisfaction.
Our tenants
are reflective of the general ethnic mix but we maintain
strong links with Jewish communities and, in this respect,
are regarded as a specialist housing provider. |
