At Railway Housing Association, we're all about lives. The lives of our residents; giving them the foundation of a quality home to make that life the best it can be.
That's why, as a not-for-profit housing association, we put money from residents' rent back into our homes and communities and offering a range of vital services to enable residents to thrive.
We own and manage 1,620 homes to meet a diverse range of needs, located across 20 local authority areas, mainly concentrated in Darlington, Doncaster, Durham, East Riding, Hull, Leeds, Newcastle and York.
That's a wide spread, but we're committed to being a part of those communities, providing great homes and servcies and making a positive, meaningful difference.
We've been operating since 1919, when railway workers were returning home from the First World War, seeking shelter and solace. The first homes for railway heroes emerged in 1921 and fast forward through the years, and Railway Housing Association has evolved into an organisation that’s rightly proud of its history.
Our footprint echoes the historic routes of the North Eastern Railway, stretching from Northumberland, Newcastle, Gateshead, County Durham, Darlington, York, Hull, East Riding, Doncaster, Leeds to Hereford, touching the lives of countless individuals and families along the way.
While it's true that today's residents don't need to be railway workers, our heritage remains a vital part of our identity. We take immense pride in our history and the profound impact of providing high quality, affordable housing to all who call our properties home.
