We are one of the country’s leading developers of affordable homes, delivering an average of 1,200 new homes every year.
And despite the challenging operating environment we will continue to develop new homes over the years ahead. Over the course of the four years to 2027 our goal is to be the biggest developer of affordable homes in Gloucestershire and throughout the wider M5 corridor, strengthening our position as a regional powerhouse. We will continue to develop new homes across a wider area that also includes the West Midlands and West of England Combined Authority regions. In the period from 2024 to 2032 our goal is to build over 11,000 new homes, as we strive to tackle the shortage of affordable housing in our communities.
We build a mix of homes for rent, shared ownership and for open market sale, that are energy efficient and designed to meet the needs of our customers. We’re proud that we have built more homes for social rent than any other housing association over the past four years. Last year social rent homes accounted for nearly 50% of all the homes we built during the year. Social rent homes will continue to be central to our delivery programme over the years ahead.
We’re proud to be one of Homes England’s strategic partners, having received £240m to build 4,000 new affordable homes in the five years to the end of 2028-29. And we work in partnership with developers, land agents and local authorities to develop our new homes and are always open to new opportunities that will allow us to build even more.
