A leading player
We’re the UK’s largest housing association, with 125,000 homes and 360,000 residents. We deliver a mix of affordable rent, shared ownership and market sale properties.
We are a strategic partner of Homes England. Under the Affordable Homes Programme 2021-26, they awarded us £249m, which, along with £224m of grant from the Greater London Authority, will support the delivery of 4,324 homes.
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.
We are the UK’s first housing association to establish a sustainable housing finance framework, launched in 2019.
Our charitable foundation, Clarion Futures, delivered more than £121m in social value in 2023-24.
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.
Financial strength and discipline
In 2023-24, we had a £993m turnover and £237m operating surplus.
We maintain a high level of liquidity, an established eMTN programme, and have access to multiple sources of funding.
Clarion takes a conservative approach to financial risk management and has a balanced debt maturity profile.
Our current long term credit ratings are A3 (Moody’s stable outlook), A- (S&P stable outlook) and A+ (Fitch negative outlook), and we’re committed to maintaining a strong investment grade rating.
Our scale allows a flexible development programme, with agility to move with business and market requirements.
