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.”
