About Us

We consider ourselves more than a housing association. We’re a team of dedicated individuals, driven by a clear social purpose. We want you to feel at home in your property and a part of your community. As a not-for-profit organisation, every pound we spend goes towards these aims.

We own and manage over 4,700 properties across Essex, the three outer East London Boroughs and the Suffolk Coastal District.

Our head office is located in Southend City and our teams regularly travel to our properties to meet with customers. To find out when we will be in your area, or to arrange a visit, contact us.
