About the Company

As the government's housing and regeneration agency, we believe affordable, quality homes in well-designed places are key to improving people's lives.

We help make this happen by combining our powers, expertise, land, capital and influence to bring investment to communities and build more quality homes.

We achieve this by forming long-term partnerships that bridge the public and private sectors and by using our influence to champion the creation of sustainable homes, communities and places that are brilliantly designed. We also use our funding and support to build a more resilient, diverse and innovative housing sector, helping new entrants in the market, encouraging modern methods of construction and design, and promoting building safety.

Together, with our partners, we're accelerating the pace of house building, remediation and regeneration across the country.

However, our ambitious and exciting agenda can only be achieved through collaboration and commitment. Whatever your role in the built environment, we're your partner in housing and regeneration and we're here to help.

We're the #HousingAndRegenerationAgency. Following the publication of the government's Levelling Up White Paper, Homes England has also been tasked with a core role in spearheading regeneration, partnering with places to reduce economic disparity, empower local leaders and create equal opportunities across the country to ensure communities reach their full potential.
