Brighter Places
Welcome to Brighter Places! We are a new housing association for Bristol and surrounding areas created following the merger of United Communities and Solon South West on 1 April 2021. We manage 3,300 homes and serve more than 8,100 residents, and we have ambitious plans for our future. This is a new chapter in our proud history as a bigger, better housing association delivering excellent customer service, resident-led decision-making and developing and improving homes. We’ll play an important role in driving forward the agenda for affordable housing and stronger communities in the city and beyond. Find out more about our Vision and Values and our 3 priorities from day one on our website.
