    Our vision is for people who want to live more independently to regard Ability as their first choice provider of housing or support services.

    We work in partnership with local authority Housing, Social Services and Supporting People teams, the Homes and Communities Agency, and mainstream RSLs to help deliver flexible and tailored housing and support for people who want to live more independently.

    Our pursuit of our visions is underpinned by the following values which permeate the whole organisation:
    Quality – we provide a high quality service and strive to improve upon our standards and performance wherever possible

    Respect – we are aware that our customers are individuals, each with their own unique needs and aspirations
    Value – our housing and services are affordable, efficient and responsive to the needs of our customers

    Integrity – we actively encourage a culture of openness, honesty and accountability.

    We are committed to being:

    ClickHousingAssociations  is a database of all Housing Association in England, Scotland & Wales

    Communities and Local Government's vision is to create great places where people want to live, work and raise a family...

    Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) is the national housing and regeneration agency for England, with an annual investment budget of more than £5bn. The HCA was formed on 1 December 2008 along with the Tenant Services Authority (the regulatory body for Registered Providers of social housing (including former Registered Social Landlords)).

    The Homes and Communities Agency is a non-departmental public body and our sponsor government department is Communities and Local Government (CLG).

    Homeless Link is the only national charity supporting people and organisations working directly with homeless people in England. We represent homelessness organisations among local, regional and national government.  As the national collaborative hub for information and debate on homelessness, we seek to improve services for homeless people and to advocate policy change. Through this work, we aim to end homelessness in England.

    Housing Corporation The Housing Corporation is the government agency that funds new affordable homes and regulates housing associations in England.

    Livability  is about creating choices for disabled people rather than making choices for them.  We believe that everyone should have the freedom to live their lives and use their abilities.  With the emphasis on choice, independence and control, we offer residential care services, supported living, lifestyle choices projects and accessible holiday accommodation, plus a school and further education colleges.  Together with Livability housing we work with over 8,500 disabled people and their families each year, throughout the UK.
    We run two colleges and an education centre. These cater for young people with profound and multiple learning difficulties, with residential facilities available on-site.

    Shelter Homelessness charity that runs a housing helpline, has a network of housing aid centres

    The Places of Change Garden is an ambitious collaboration between national housing and regeneration delivery agency, the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), the Eden Project, national membership charity for frontline homelessness agencies Homeless Link, and Communities and Local Government (CLG).

    This partnership builds on the success of the silver medal award-winning Key Garden at Chelsea in 2009 which saw collaboration from 20 homeless agencies and 200 homeless service users involved at all stages of the Garden’s development. Participants involved consistently reported a huge confidence boost, new skills, and renewed hope for their future.
