Welcome
We work with housing providers, so we can improve
the wellbeing and living conditions of poor and marginalised people.
Our projects deliver lasting change, by harnessing the energy and enthusiasm of local people, housing providers and other organisations.
We provide the expertise and the resources to make change a reality.
Find out more about the way we work – and about the people that
benefit from our work.

Volunteers work
After the success of Reach In, we’ve launched an online toolkit for housing providers to help them recruit and host refugee volunteers.
The toolkit will help you to create better links with your communities, increase awareness of your customers and improve your services to vulnerable groups. It’s broken into six sections, providing the information and tools you’ll need to host a refugee volunteer.
HACT launches the final report from the Together for Communities project
The report, Together for Communities – experiences from partnerships, transforming neighbourhoods has been launched by HACT.
The launch brought together many of the community anchor and housing association partners from the Together for Communities project, as well as other project delivery partners, housing associations and policy makers, to demonstrate the value and impact of a partnership approach with an emphasis on the role that housing providers can play as part of this agenda.
