"As a not-for-profit organisation, we optimise efficiencies and value for money, so we can do more for our customers and society, and deliver more new affordable homes."
We believe everyone is entitled to a good quality, safe and affordable home. We manage a growing portfolio of over 46,000 affordable and social rent homes and support over 100,000 customers in differing stages of life, from those seeking their first home to customers looking for enhanced supported living. We are also one of the UK’s largest developers of affordable housing and have committed to building and regenerating 7,000 homes by 2030.
For nearly 60 years we’ve been a force for positive change, particularly during the country’s continuing housing and residential challenges. Our commercial approach combined with our clear social purpose enables us to reinvest our surplus to improve the quality of our homes, services and our communities, support local economies and provide more much needed affordable housing.
