Applicant overview: The premises at 70 Villa Road in Handsworth were used as a base for the Trinity Housing Advice Centre (THAC), later renamed the THRC that emerged out of Handsworth Employment Scheme Ltd. as well as other projects including the BOHP. The Fund served as guarantor for the lease on the premises and was involved in matters relating to its administration and upkeep.
