At Selwood Housing, we provide local, affordable homes. We own and manage over 7,000 homes for rent and shared ownership in the south west and are growing. Our ambition is to build 1,700 more affordable homes by 2034, to help tackle the housing crisis. As a charity, our surplus is reinvested into new homes, our existing properties and into our communities. We have been a vital part of our communities for over 30 years and know the difference a stable home can make. Affordable, safe, secure homes give people a foundation on which to build their lives. The range of homes we provide, from rented to shared ownership, sheltered accommodation and care homes means we help many local people. We believe that being truly local makes us different. Our team is made up of 300 local people who really get to know our customers and are passionate about helping them. By listening to what our customers say, we are continually improving our services. Put simply, we are here to play our part in solving the UK's housing crisis, as a long-term partner and investor in our communities.
