What we do

The G15 is made up of London’s leading housing associations. Collectively, our members own or manage more than 880,000 homes across the country, provide housing for around one in ten Londoners, and build over 10,000 new homes every year.

Together, we are the largest providers of new affordable homes in London, accounting for around 15% of all affordable homes across England. This is what we were established to do and it remains our driving purpose today.

In recent years, G15 members have funded and delivered more than 56,000 new homes in partnership with the Mayor of London. Our top priority is ensuring that these homes are safe, good quality, and meet the needs of our residents.

We are independent, charitable organisations, and every penny we make is reinvested into building more affordable homes and delivering vital services for the people who live in them. 

In 2024 alone, G15 members collectively invested almost £2 billion in repairs and improvement works, ensuring our residents’ homes continue to be places where people can live well. 

Our members provide a wide range of housing, from below-market rented homes to shared ownership and private sale properties that help aspiring homeowners onto the ladder. 

The types of homes we build and manage include:

• Homes for social rent – homes available at around half market rents in most areas
• London Affordable Rent – homes rented at around half of market rents in London
• London Living Rent – homes at discounted rent where residents have the option to buy the property
• Key worker accommodation – homes at discounted rent levels for public service workers to live near their place of work
• Supported housing – homes for people with a range of needs and vulnerabilities
• Extra care – homes that are suitable for very vulnerable people with support services on site
• Shared ownership – homes that allow people to part-buy, part-rent their home (with opportunities to add to the portion they own as they can afford to do so)
• Homes for sale – homes sold at market price with the surpluses used to cross-subsidise affordable homes
• Private rented homes – some G15 members offer market rented homes with the security of a responsible and stable landlord
• Privately leased homes – some G15 members manage privately leased homes that are let to households nominated by local authorities, such as people who are homeless or in priority need.
