Our support for the HouseProud LGBTQ+ Housing Pledge Scheme reflects our broader commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.
Building inclusive communities for everyone
At Clarion Housing Group, we believe everyone deserves a safe, welcoming home where they can live with dignity and pride. Our support for the HouseProud LGBTQ+ Housing Pledge Scheme reflects our broader commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.
We know that many LGBTQ+ residents face unique challenges in their housing experiences—from subtle exclusion to outright discrimination. By supporting this scheme, we’re making it clear that LGBTQ+ inclusion is not optional; it’s essential.
About the Pledge Scheme
Launched by HouseProud in partnership with Stonewall Housing, the scheme is the UK’s first coordinated approach to improving LGBTQ+ experiences in social housing.
It responds directly to findings from No Place Like Home, a landmark study that revealed how often LGBTQ+ residents feel marginalised or unsafe. The Pledge gives housing providers a free, accessible way to commit to inclusive practice and drive meaningful change.
The commitments we’re making
By signing the Pledge, providers agree to show measurable progress within a year in three areas:
- Resident voice: Giving LGBTQ+ residents a real say in decisions that affect them
- Visible support: Demonstrating inclusion clearly across platforms and places
- Informed staff: Delivering training, so colleagues understand LGBTQ+ needs and offer confident, respectful services.
Clarion is committed to achieving Pledge Pioneer status and embedding these values at every level of our organisation.
