About Us
Community Housing was formed in 2000 through a stock transfer from Wyre Forest District Council. We are a social business and one of Worcestershire's largest Registered Providers of social housing, managing around 6000 homes and offering a range of services that help people to live independently.
We are proud of what we have achieved so far for the people and communities we support. Over the coming years we are focused on helping people to thrive and live independently, knowing they have a secure place they can call home, that they can afford, and with a landlord who cares about them.
Our Corporate Plan will help us to push forward and achieve results for our customers and communities. But even more so, it is our people that will drive our success.
With the right people, with the right skills, knowledge, behaviour, and values we achieve our goals.
When we are looking to recruit, we don't just look for the best skillset or experience, we are also looking for people who will support our vision and 'The Community Way' of doing things.
