We became an independent Housing Association in March 2015.

All GCH homes meet the Government’s decent homes standard. There is a 30 year financial business plan to deliver around £250 million investment in our existing and new homes.

Therefore we are highly valued and trusted by our tenants. For instance, GCH are recognised as one of the best housing providers in the country. This is through independent accreditation including:

• The Sunday Times Top 100 non-profit making organisation
• The Equalities Standard
• British Standards Institute ISO 9001 recognition for quality management processes.
