Southern Housing Group are a leading provider of quality, affordable housing with a presence throughout the Isle of Wight and South-East England
As one of southern England’s largest housing associations, we own and manage 25,000 homes for more than 66,000 residents. We employ more than 900 people and work with more than 70 local authorities.


Our mission is to unlock the potential of people and places. We've been doing this since 1901, when our founder Samuel Lewis bequeathed £670,000 (equivalent to £30 million today) to provide housing for the poor. We achieve this by developing quality, affordable housing, improving the neighbourhoods where our residents live and developing a range of rent and home ownership opportunities.


Southern Housing Group is one of the largest housing associations in southern England. Our job is to develop quality, affordable housing for rent and home ownership. We also manage housing and resident services and invest in regenerating the communities where our residents live.


Our experience has taught us that investing in people and communities is as important as building homes. This philosophy has been the bedrock of our activities for more than 100 years.
