About us
We are a housing association- one that owns and provides over 47,000 homes for people who can't access market housing; has individual relationships with more than 112,000 customers; has a strong balance sheet and plans to build 11,000 homes by 2032. All of this is only possible because of our 1,900 dedicated colleagues.
We take a simple view that nothing is more important to any individual or a family than their home. It's a matter of social justice that everyone should have a home that is safe, secure, and affordable. We exist to provide such homes. With the right home, people can achieve great things, not only for themselves but for wider society too.
We provide quality, affordable homes. But we care about the people who live in them too. We want each of them to be able to achieve their goals. This will be different for each customer. Put simply, we want people to thrive.
