We are a housing association that provides more than 60,000 people in Sunderland with a place they can call home.
We are a values-led organisation, with a clear vision, a social purpose and a commitment to invest in people, place and property.
We believe everyone has the right to live in a good quality home they can afford. We invest millions of pounds every year to keep our existing homes safe and decent. We also play our part in helping to deal with the UK housing crisis locally by building hundreds of new, modern homes for rent in Sunderland. Homes that meet the needs of local people.
Not only do we provide vital housing, but we also support our customers, residents and communities by investing in services that help people live their best possible life. This includes helping and supporting:
- people back into work
- vulnerable customers
- people affected by domestic abuse, antisocial behaviour, hate crime and hate incidents
- young people to live independently
- all customers and leaseholders to improve their wellbeing
Gentoo is a member of the Housing Employment Network North East (HENNE) which is a partnership of 12 North East social housing providers who through collaboration and the development of practical solutions, aims to support our residents and tenants to overcome barriers to employment, develop skills and experience, and provide employment opportunities.
