Our mission
Our organisation was built on a simple mission – to give people a safe, secure and affordable home. That’s as true today as it was in the 1950s, when our founder Molly Huggins established an organisation to provide homes for Windrush migrants in London.
Our core purpose is that ‘everyone should have a home and the chance to live well’ – putting people at the heart of everything we do and guiding every decision we make.
Strategy
Through the nature of our work, we believe we can develop ways of doing things differently that help tackle big social issues about where and how people live.
Serving People Better Every Day is our five-year strategy, launched in April 2021. It’s the plan for how we will improve the customer experience, invest in more people’s home, and support people to live well.
