Housing 21 is a leading not-for-profit provider of Retirement Living and Extra Care properties for older people. Our focus is specifically on helping older people with limited means and hence in most need of assistance. ​

Our aim is to support independence and choice for older people through the provision of quality housing and social care.

With the support of Homes England, we will deliver 691 new specialist housing properties for older people in the current financial year (2021/22). We also aim to continue to develop more properties with an ambition to deliver up to 800 new Extra Care or Retirement Living properties a year for letting at social rents or for affordable shared ownership. Our emphasis on new development has never been at the expense of investment in maintaining the quality and desirability of existing properties for our current residents.

We have invested significantly in modernising the communal spaces of our properties and upgrading kitchens and bathrooms. We have also ensured that our properties are all energy efficient and affordable to heat with 100% of properties now achieving EPC level C or better, bringing benefits to residents faced with increasing fuel prices as well as being an important step in our journey toward achieving zero carbon emissions.
