Welcome to Great Places Housing Group.
Great Places Housing Group is a powerful force in regeneration and urban renewal, tackling and transforming some of the North's most challenging neighbourhoods - and helping to build bolder, brighter communities for generations to come. They're constantly exploring new territory and seeking fresh opportunities. That's what keeps them growing, learning and thriving. It's what drives them every day.
Our multi award-winning group members own and manage more than 14,000 high-quality homes across the North West and beyond, from eco-houses in amazing architecture, to pioneering projects to support some of society's most vulnerable people. The alliance means Group members can share expertise and learn from each other, while keeping their own unique identities and ways of working. Each association does its own thing, works with its own residents and customers. The Group structure means that all are freed up to concentrate on what they do best while Great Places gives strategic focus and central services.
Like any good relationship, they work together - but they give each other freedom, too. As a result, they're all growing, thriving, learning and flourishing. All sorts of organisations are among the Great Places family and friends. They're constantly working with others to find superb solutions to housing and community issues, and turn plans into reality.
