David Jepson, chair of SLH, thanked Ms Fadden for her “outstanding commitment and dedication to the South Liverpool community”.
According to the statement, Ms Fadden led the organisation’s homelessness reduction project through the pandemic, which rehoused more than 2,000 homeless adults and children in permanent furnished homes across the city.
The news comes six months after SLH saw its governance rating downgraded to G2, with the English regulator stating at the time that the board needed to strengthen its oversight of the business and improve its risk management.
In a statement to Inside Housing: Ms Fadden said: “Having transformed the organisation to one that is totally focused on the communities we serve and delivering the work required to restore us to G1, it is time to look forward to delivering new outcomes for a broader range of neighbourhoods facing today’s challenges and needing new solutions.”
