Back in June, our social enterprise Grosvenor Hart Homes was designated a registered provider of social housing by the Regulator of Social Housing, following a stringent 16-month application process.

The process ensures that registered providers are financially viable, properly governed, and provide decent, well-managed homes that continue to attract investment into the future as well as services that are focused on the benefit of tenants.

Registered provider registration is a key milestone in our mission to improve outcomes for vulnerable children, young people and their families by simultaneously addressing the provision of high- quality, affordable and secure homes paired with support services tailored around individual needs and addressing employment and routes into employment and mental health and wellbeing.

Initiated by the Duke of Westminster, Grosvenor Hart Homes’ ambition is to develop a self-sustaining, scalable model, founded on profit sufficiency – not profit maximisation. With significant investments over the next 10 years looking to provide more than 750 homes alongside tailored intervention support, we are focusing on Chester and the north-west of England as well as central London.
