About us
Who we are
Founded in 1967 as the Merton Family Housing Trust and in response to Cathy Come Home, we have since grown into an organisation with over 7,000 homes across nine south London boroughs providing homes for rent (social and affordable), shared ownership, outright sale, and supported housing. We also have a small portfolio of commercial properties and garages.
We see our purpose as supporting people, across south London, who need a home and we are helping to tackle the shortage of good quality affordable housing by providing homes for people most in need of housing.
We want to be a good landlord and contribute to building strong communities in south London and deliver against our vision ‘Homes to be proud of and services you can trust’.
Our plans for the future are as ambitious as ever as we look to build new homes and invest significantly in our existing properties, ensuring they are places our residents feel proud to call home.
A good quality, affordable home is the key to a successful and fulfilling life. That belief has been at the heart of our work for the past 55 years and it will continue to be so for the next 55.
