Our investment case

A leading player

We’re the UK’s largest housing association, with 125,000 homes and 350,000 residents.  

We’re a strategic partner of Homes England, which has awarded us £249.7m to help build 4,770 homes.  

We deliver a mix of affordable rent, shared ownership and market sale properties.  

We have strong geographic diversification with a presence in more than 170 local authorities, and are working on major new housing developments in Leeds, Manchester, London and Norwich.

“Our financial strength and resilience provides the platform for us to continue to build new homes, support our residents and invest in Clarion communities across the country.”

ESG leadership

We’re a business for social purpose. Any surplus we make is reinvested in our mission to provide homes for those who need them most.

Clarion’s commitment to social values is rooted in a heritage dating back to 1900, and our subsidised rents save more than £11m a week for our residents. We were the UK’s first housing association to be accredited with the pan-European Certified Sustainable Housing Label. This assesses more than 40 ESG criteria.

Our charitable foundation, Clarion Futures, delivered more than £131m in social value in 2021-22.

Almost all of our new homes have energy ratings of B or higher; we aim for all our new homes to be zero carbon compatible by 2025, and are committed to reaching net zero by 2050. On the back of these strong ESG credentials we have issued £950m of sustainability bonds to date.
