Mr da Cunha, who has led Curo for eight years, will now head up the representative group that is made up of the 11 largest housing associations in the South West.

He takes over with immediate effect from Paul Crawford, chief executive at LiveWest, who has held the role since 2013. Barbara Shaw, chief executive of Westward, remains as deputy chair of the organisation.

The 11 housing associations that make up the Homes for South West collectively own more than 180,000 homes and plan to reinvest £2bn to deliver 16,000 new homes over the next four years.

The members are: Alliance Homes Group, Bromford, Curo, LiveWest, GreenSquare, Magna Housing, Plymouth Community Homes, Sovereign, Stonewater, Westward, and Yarlington.

Commenting on his new role, Mr da Cunha said: “By working together, we can amplify our voice and make a strong case to regional and national government for policies and strategic partnerships that help us to build more homes. It’s about much more than money – it’s about seeing how housing associations play a vital part in getting new houses built.

“With support from government, we can deliver more homes faster and create secure, affordable housing for thousands of local families.”

He added: “We’re focusing on four key areas the government can help us with: getting access to land, getting the planning system working better and faster, ensuring we have the skills we need to build housing and the infrastructure that’s required for our communities to thrive.”
