We own over 13,500 homes across Cheshire and Merseyside, providing a home to over 30,000 customers. We have a strong history of development, building a range of general needs, sheltered and extra care homes which have helped meet local need. We have also grown into an organisation with a track record in shared ownership, helping our customers to get on the property ladder in ways they may not otherwise be able to.
Alongside these homes, we also offer much needed support, advice and services to help customers live comfortably in their homes or to enrich their lives. Fulfilling our social purpose is something that has remained firm throughout our 50 year history.
We are proud to be working with our local partners on a project offering community-led employment support. Funded by the Department of Work and Pensions, our Jobs Plus community hub in Toxteth is the base of one of ten pilot sites in the UK taking part in the initiative, targeting areas of high unemployment.

We know the value in supporting people to have a decent home and a job – these are the basic underpinning features of a good life. When one fails it has a big impact; if both fail it can be catastrophic. The important thing is to work on both simultaneously.
