We became an independent Housing Association in March 2015 following overwhelming tenant support of 89% for a stock transfer from Gloucester City Council. GCH was originally set up as an Arm’s Length Management Organisation in 2005 to deliver the Government’s decent homes standard.

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

Highly valued and trusted by our tenants, we are recognised as one of the best housing providers in the country through independent accreditation including being ranked the 10th best housing association and 23rd best company to work for in the South West (Q2 2022), the Equalities Standard and the British Standards Institute ISO 9001:2015 recognition for quality management processes. Our Board, Management and Tenant Panel look forward to continuing to achieve better outcomes for our customers, improving your homes and making your communities better places to live. We are committed to providing valued housing services to all our customers.
