As a responsible organisation, it is important for us to do so much more than provide good-quality housing. We call this social value.
We are dedicated to creating positive social impact within our communities. We focus on enhancing the quality of life for our tenants by providing affordable housing, supporting local employment, and building community engagement.
Our initiatives include investing in community projects, promoting sustainable living, and ensuring that our operations contribute to the overall wellbeing and development of the communities we serve. We are committed to delivering social value through continuous improvement and collaboration with local partners.
Our services include help finding employment, training opportunities, money advice, homelessness support, refuge accommodation, support for older people, technology-enabled care, specialist-supported living accommodation, and more.
As a result, these initiatives help to reduce social anxiety, increase productivity, decrease crime and improve employment retention and financial stability.
