We’re Abri, a housing association based in the south of England. One of the largest in fact. We've got 35,000 homes and 80,000 residents living in them. 

But what does being a housing association really mean?

There aren’t enough homes for everyone who needs one. And we don’t think that’s right.

So we build, own, look after and sell homes that people can afford. Including homes for affordable and social rent. And homes to buy through things like Shared Ownership and Help to Buy. We also have houses for market rent and sale too.

And that’s not the half of it…

We do a lot more than provide homes

We believe home isn’t a place, it’s a feeling.

Home is feeling safe, feeling secure, feeling happy. It’s a refuge. It’s where you feel you belong - where you’re part of a community. It’s a place where you can dream big, achieve your goals and be who you want to be.

But not everyone is fortunate enough to have a home. Homelessness, poverty, domestic abuse, and inequality are challenges people face every day. Finding ways to solve these challenges drives us.

And not everyone has had the same opportunities or life chances either. That’s why we help people with budgeting, finances, employment, training, health and wellbeing.

The belief that we can fix these issues, or at least make a dent in them is something shared by everyone at Abri. It’s what gets us up every day.
