About us

We’re BFL, a place-based affordable housing provider serving more than 300,000 customers across the south west, central and east of England. We’re the UK’s largest provider of new affordable homes, delivering over 3,000 each year.

Why our work matters

The need for safe, affordable housing has never been greater. Rising costs, growing inequality, and increasing homelessness are making it harder than ever for people to own a home or rent affordably. Strong housing associations like BFL are essential to providing quality homes and building a better future.

Investing in places and people

We’re committed to more than just housing. We invest in communities, improving services and creating opportunities for customers. Our locally focused teams understand the people they serve, tailoring support to meet different needs.

“A home is more than four walls—it’s security, stability, and a foundation for the future.”

Doing things differently

We don’t just follow the standard approach—we set it. Our ‘place standard’ will transform streets into vibrant neighbourhoods where people want to live. Customer service is strengthened by our experience, expertise, and investment in technology. Innovation drives everything we do, backed by research and development.
And it doesn’t stop there. Through our learning academy, we provide training and opportunities for customers and colleagues, helping them build skills and confidence for the future.
