We are an Arms Length Management Organisation (ALMO) responsible for managing council homes on behalf of Newcastle City Council.

We were set up in 2004 to manage council properties, to improve housing in order to meet the Government’s Decent Homes standard, and to provide a range of support services for Newcastle City Council.

We currently manage:

• 26,700 council homes on behalf of Newcastle City Council
