About us

About Aster Group

We're a housing association that provides quality, affordable homes to thousands of people across the south of England and London. Our vision is that everyone has a home. We're committed to listening to and working with customers to make sure they receive a good service, first time. 

We're committed to doing our bit to tackle the housing crisis by delivering a wide range of housing options. Last year, we delivered over 1,300 homes offering affordable and social rent, shared ownership and open market sale options and are set to provide a further 1,160 during 2023/24. Looking ahead, we plan to invest £2.3 billion to deliver over 10,000 new homes in the next seven years. We remain committed to making sure all homes are EPC C or above as soon as possible, ahead of the government deadline of 2030. For more information please visit our reports page.

Our not-for-dividend business was established in 1990 and has £2.2 billion worth of social housing assets. We reinvest profits from open market sale and shared ownership to support the development of affordable homes. We own and maintain over 36,000 homes and employ over 1,900 people.

We are relentless in our mission to extend a positive impact into our communities. This is achieved in many ways including through The Aster Foundation, which has now completed its first year as an official registered charity. For more information visit www.aster.co.uk/foundation.
