"Our vision for Catalyst Housing Group is a group of organisations that are united by common values and shared governance. Group members have their strengths and specialisms but achieve more working together than they can on their own."

About Catalyst

Catalyst Housing Group provides more than 14,000 affordable homes in London and the South East. Group members include Catalyst Communities Housing Association, Kensington Housing Trust and Fortunegate Community Housing. The Group employs more than 400 staff, and we work with local authorities, our residents, and our local communities.

Our Group structure enables each Group member to retain its local identity and provide local services, while benefiting from economies of scale and central support. As a group we work with communities to provide a comprehensive range of services, including general needs housing, large scale regeneration schemes, sheltered and special needs housing, residential care homes, low cost home ownership, and key worker accommodation.

Our area of operation

Catalyst Housing Group operates in an area of considerable housing demand, from central London along the Thames valley to Oxford and Reading. We play an important role in providing affordable accommodation for those who would otherwise be excluded from the housing market, while our homes for key workers assist those providing essential public services to live close to their place of work.

Catalyst Housing Group is governed by a voluntary Board of Management that works alongside a team of dedicated and highly skilled staff, led by the Group Management Team.

The Group is committed to the highest standards of governance, accountability and probity. On the right are links to a range of pages and documents that provide more detailed information about our management, our corporate policies, and our finances.
