West Yorkshire housing provider rebrands with plans for 1,500 new homes

Wakefield and District Housing (WDH) will rebrand as Vico Homes from 1 April as part of a new business strategy aiming to deliver 1,500 homes over the next three years.

The organisation says the rebrand follows a consultation with customers, partners, and staff to strengthen its position. It emphasised that the change is not linked to a merger.

Beyond new housing, Vico Homes plans to upgrade over 2,000 kitchens and bathrooms, improve energy efficiency, and invest in regeneration projects. The organisation manages more than 32,000 homes across the Wakefield and North of England.

In February, WDH secured £30 million in funding from NatWest to support retrofit and green energy initiatives. It has also expanded training and employment programmes for tenants and local communities.
