A message from our CEO Mark

“It’s been quite a journey over the past 90 years. We have gone from a small local provider of social homes to one of the largest housing associations in the UK, with over 57,000 homes and 125,000 customers.

“What makes us special is our people. Over those years they have shaped, grown and evolved Home Group into what we are today. And they continue to make a difference for our customers every day.

“We are extremely proud of those people who have been on that journey, past and present, and want to celebrate their achievements, and those of Home Group, over the past 90 years.”

Years since we were founded as the North Eastern Housing Association.

Over 125,000 customers live in more than 57,000 homes across England and Scotland.

Over the last year, we've worked with over 14,000 vulnerable people in our supported housing and health services.

We're proud to say we're 9th in the UK's Best Workplaces 2025 in the Great Place to Work survey.
