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 we remain within our financial risk appetite, can sustain covenant compliance, and can deal with adverse scenarios, while continuing to invest in our homes.
