About Us

We are one of the largest providers of affordable housing and care services in the East Midlands, operating across more than 40 rural and urban local authority areas.

Our commitment to delivering excellent services and providing safe, secure homes underpins everything we do.

Working closely with our residents and partners, we aim to build up to 500 new, high-quality homes each year for rent and shared ownership. We also provide care and support services, including nursing care, Extra Care independent living and supported living – ensuring people can live well, safely and independently in homes that meet their needs.

Alongside this, we continue to strengthen our service delivery by tackling homelessness, investing in apprenticeships, jobs, training, skills and enterprise, promoting financial inclusion and delivering energy‑efficiency programmes. We’re committed to boosting local economies by creating and supporting employment opportunities in the communities where we work – helping residents access sustainable careers and ensuring our investment benefits local people and places.

Equality and diversity sit at the heart of our work, guiding both our services and the way we support the communities we serve.

Prioritising what matters

Our five priorities – shown below – are underpinned by our values and What Matters Framework, which guide what we expect from everyone involved in our work and drive our focus on delivering high‑quality homes and services.

As a community‑led organisation, we’re proud to be part of networks that strengthen our work and amplify our impact. Memberships such as PlaceShapers and Homes for Cathy support our commitment to placemaking and residents, and tackling homelessness, while organisations like the National Housing Federation, Chartered Institute of Housing, Housing LIN, The Care Forum, CBI and East Midlands Chamber connect us to sector best practice, professional expertise and local business insight – helping us keep our service delivery strong, informed and responsive.

We report and account to the Regulator of Social Housing and the Care Quality Commission, maintaining high standards for both the homes and services we provide.

Our roots go back to 1946, when we began as East Midlands Housing Association, building affordable homes for ex‑servicemen. Since then, we’ve grown into the major regional housing and care group we are today.
