“2024 was our biggest year for delivery yet – 1,525 new high-quality, secure, long-term, affordable homes for those in housing need.

“We also grew our construction programme in 2024 – 649 of our new homes were delivered via our Clúid Design and Build programme, or our sector-leading Developer Design and Build programme. We continue to work closely with our developer, contractor and construction partners. We’re on track to deliver more than 1,000 homes in 2025, many of them through our construction programme.

We’re proud to be able to use this wealth of expertise and experience to contribute to addressing the current housing crisis.
