Turn your property into part of the UK’s housing solution

We help landlords across Norwich and Norfolk lease their properties for social housing and emergency accommodation through government-backed tenancy schemes.

These homes are allocated by local councils, housing associations, NHS discharge teams, and Home Office partners to support:

  • Low-income families
  • Adults and over-65s discharged from hospital
  • Children leaving care or in transition
  • Individuals facing housing loss due to illness or life change
  • “1.33 million households are now on social housing waiting lists, the highest in a decade”
  • “127,890 households (including 165,510 children) are in temporary accommodation”
  • “Just 204,611 homes were built in the last year, far short of the 367,000 needed annually”
