Home Group Limited was originally formed as The North Eastern Housing Association in 1935 and converted itself into an Industrial and Provident Society in 1980.
After being a wholly northern organisation until the late 1970's, it expanded into Yorkshire, the Midlands and then the South of England during the 1980's and 90's. Mergers with Warden, Stonham and Cleghorn (subsequently renamed as Home in Scotland) took place in the late 90's.
In 2003, Nashayman Housing Association (a Black and Minority Ethnic association) joined the Group. In 2004, as the result of a large-scale voluntary transfer from Copeland Borough Council, a sub-division of the Group, Copeland Homes, was formed. Our market rent subsidiary Paramount Homes, now known as Live Smart @ Home, was formed in 1997, and Home Group Developments Limited in 2003. After several name changes, the association became Home Group Ltd in 1998 and adopted charitable status in 2004.
Home Group Limited now comprises Housing Operations, Stonham and our support services in the Centre.
