Villages Housing Association
Established in 1983, Villages Housing Association is based in Stockbridge Village, Knowsley, where
we own and manage around 1,800 properties. We also have 1,000 homes in Oldham and specialist
extra care schemes in St. Helens.
Villages' mission is ‘to be more than just a landlord by working in partnership to create an environment
for communities to flourish’.
Our portfolio includes general needs, sheltered and supported housing. This means that we are
involved in issues and projects far wider than bricks and mortar. We work with partners in education
and training, crime and ASB, health, transport, social activities and shops. As a not-for-profit
organisation, we are able to re-invest our income back into our communities.
Villages became a ForViva group member on 1st June 2015, teaming up with City West Housing Trust
and ForWorks. This partnership will provide greater opportunities to collaborate and enable Villages to
enhance our services even further.
