Who we work with
We work with a variety of local authorities and housing providers, community organisations and suppliers to provide homes and deliver services to our customers.
Other housing providers
We’re focused on meeting local housing need by collaborating with partners who share our values to deliver affordable new homes. These organisations include for-profit providers such as Legal & General Affordable Homes and M&G who we manage homes for.
We also work closely with local authorities to help meet housing need and manage temporary accommodation for Chelmsford City Council and Maldon District Council.
You can find out more about why we work with these partners and what we do with them on our Managing homes for others page.
Community organisations
We work with a variety of trusted organisations to help provide valuable welfare support to our customers and local communities when it’s needed. For example, sometimes we make a foodbank referral if a customer is struggling to buy enough food, or we report a safeguarding concern so that extra support can be provided to the person in need. Here are some of the organisations we work with day to day.
- Local authorities e.g. Chelmsford City Council (CCC) and Maldon District Council (MDC).
- Essex County Council (ECC).
- Essex Police.
- Essex Compass.
- National Centre for Domestic Violence (NCDV).
- Essex Welfare Service.
- Peabody Floating Support.
- The Trussell Trust foodbank.
- Adult Community Learning (ACL).
- Workers’ Educational Association (WEA).
Suppliers
We rely on close working relationships with a number of suppliers. This includes our partners who provide cleaning services, grounds maintenance and gas servicing in our properties. We also work with a number of suppliers to help us run efficiently as an organisation, from our auditors to our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) provider.
