About us
We were set up in 1967 to help keep Islington affordable to people on low to modest incomes. Today we own 300 homes in and around Barnsbury.
We are a small organisation, serving a small community in a defined area. Many of our tenants have been with us since the start and value our high-quality homes and estates, our responsive service and the strong sense of community.
We feel we have an important contribution to make:
- to our residents, who value our community focus and personal service
- to Islington, through our commitment to keeping genuinely affordable homes in an area where people on moderate incomes are otherwise priced out, building new homes where many other landlords choose not to invest
- to the housing sector, by using our skills and resources to help find solutions to wider issues like making older properties more energy efficient and by striving to be a beacon of good practice
Our vision
To create sustainable homes and thriving communities.
Our purpose
We want to help create successful communities: places where people feel they belong, places where they can thrive. At the heart of this is our role in providing a safe, warm, affordable and secure home.
We will do this by:
- being a trusted landlord, known for providing great services and well-cared for and sustainable home
- giving residents the power to support and help thrive their own communities
- being connected and open to ideas
- putting residents at our heart.
Our culture is about the shared values, beliefs and behaviours that determine how we do things, and our ways and systems of working that help get those things done.
Our values put customers at our heart and provide the foundation for the culture of our organisation and how we work.
- We are respectful, caring and kind.
- We are collaborative, and connected to our community and our residents.
- We are creative, resourceful and ‘can do’.
- We are inclusive and fair.
- We keep our promises.
