As the leading provider of homes with positive impact across Yorkshire and the north of England, we help to transform the lives of everyone living in our 33,000 homes. Since we were established in 2005, we've built or acquired 4,000 homes across Yorkshire. 

We want to provide more homes to more people in more places, giving all our customers a home to be proud of. 

We're proud to maintain Homes England Investment Partner status and continue with our strategic partnerships with Homes England. We develop our new homes by working in partnership with local authorities, other social housing providers and private developers. Our homes are built for both rent to Homesearch members and for sale through shared ownership.

By growing our communities, we’re building new homes and building opportunity too. We aim to deliver 10,000 homes over the next 10 years to provide more affordable homes for more people who need them, with the goal to have 45,000 homes by 2035.

We’re excited about the big plans ahead, and we know that strong partnerships make all the difference. If you’d like to explore how we can work together, you’ll find more details here.

What about our existing homes?

The new homes we’re building will give more people a place to live and benefit our existing communities too! More homes means more money to reinvest in the neighbourhoods and homes we have now. You can see what improvements we have planned for existing homes over the next three years on our website.
