About Homes England

Who We Are

We are the government’s housing and regeneration agency, established by statute in 2008. We are a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). Our board is appointed by the Secretary of State for DLUHC and we have teams specialised in housing, regeneration, land and development, investment, finance and risk management. We work across England, albeit much of our role in London is devolved.

Our ambition is to work in collaboration with equally ambitious partners to deliver the homes and places that our communities need, and to support the regeneration of our towns, cities and rural communities.

In order to deliver our contribution to levelling up, our way of working is evolving. As a market-facing organisation, we will continue to work in collaboration with local government, house builders, developers, housing associations, infrastructure providers, landowners and lenders who share our ambitions. But we will also work harder to bring our land, funding, powers and expertise together to tackle the housing and regeneration ambitions of specific places, addressing the unique challenges and opportunities their communities face.

What We Do

Everyone, no matter their circumstances, deserves to live in a comfortable and safe home that is affordable to them, in a neighbourhood where they can work, play and access the services they need. Unfortunately, this is not the case today. There are enormous disparities in the quality of the built environment across the country. These differences are caused by, and reinforce, significant inequalities in the opportunities people have and their quality of life.

Our mission is to support every one to live in high-quality homes in thriving places. To deliver on this mission, we must tackle challenges that exist at three distinct but overlapping scales:

  • the homes people live in

  • the places which those homes are part of

  • the sector we rely on to deliver the homes and places we need

Critically, we must also ensure that there is a strong focus on sustainability and quality across all of our work.
