About us

We are a housing association that provides around 100,000 people in the North East, Yorkshire and Humber region with homes, support and opportunities to grow.

We invest millions of pounds each year to keep our homes safe, secure and well maintained. We support people who need help to get onto the housing ladder, pay rent and to keep their home in good repair. 

We have an excellent track record of building new homes for rent and shared ownership. We build hundreds of high-quality and modern homes that meet the needs of local people. As a Homes England Strategic Partner, we are delivering an ambitious five-year affordable homes programme, which runs until 2026. 

We don't just rent and build homes. We support our customers and communities by investing in services to help people to live their best lives. As part of this we:

  • prevent homelessness
  • help people back to work
  • support people with money management
  • provide volunteering opportunities
  • support people affected by domestic abuse and anti-social behaviour
  • provide a refugee resettlement service

We develop and deliver homes and services for older people or those who need a helping hand to live independently too. These include:

  • extra care schemes for older people
  • support for young people to live independently
  • homes for people with learning disabilities
  • support for children leaving care
  • helping people leaving prison to find accommodation

We know we can't do everything on our own. We place great importance on working with our key partners and listening to their views. It's not only essential for us but also vital for maximising the impact of what we do.

We are proud to have been awarded Investors in People (IIP) Gold for our commitment to our staff.
