Who are we?

---------------



We are the Government's national housing agency. Our role is to accelerate the pace of house-building across the country, particularly in areas where there are the most serious affordability issues - meaning people are struggling to find homes.



We have the appetite, influence, expertise and resources to drive positive market change and meet the Government's ambition to deliver 300,000 new homes a year. We are using our land, influence, funds and knowledge to increase the pace, scale and quality of new homes accelerating delivery in areas of greatest demand and helping create great places to live. Within the next few years, we will have invested over 27 billion across our programmes. To deliver against these aims we're building a different kind of public service - join us to help make this happen.
