Finance meets purpose
To meet the investment needed to make millions of existing homes safer, warmer, more energy efficient and cheaper to run, alongside the delivery of new social housing, we rely on funders and other stakeholders to support us.
Our long-term financial plan ensures covenant compliance, establishes financial risk appetite and sets an envelope for investment in new homes.
