About Network Homes

Network Homes exists to build and manage homes and we\'ve been dedicated to providing affordable housing since we were formed in 1974. We now manage over 20,000 homes across London, Hertfordshire and the South East. We have an ambition to build a thousand new homes a year, deliver first class customer service and strengthen our residents trust in us as a landlord.

We\'re a charitable housing association driven by social objectives and all profits are reinvested in providing new homes and services.

In summary we believe good homes make everything possible.

We believe culture is everything and we work really hard to create a positive, can-do, solution focussed culture. We foster a positive working culture because we’re passionate about our people, recognised as a Sunday Times 100 Employer in 2019 we have outstanding levels of engagement amongst our people.

Network Homes is firmly committed to making sure that our organisation and the communities in which we work are safe places for people to be who they are and live the way they choose. The commitment was recognised at the Housing Heroes awards 2019 where our Equality and Diversity Engagement Group picked up a key award and is demonstrated by us being founding partners for Leadership 2025, the initiative to increase the ethnic diversity of housing’s leadership, and Pledge Pioneers for House Proud, a scheme designed to ensure Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer residents can enjoy their homes without fear of discrimination.
