The Guernsey Housing Association is an independent, not-for-profit housing association with charitable aims.
The Guernsey Housing Association is an independent, not-for-profit housing association with charitable aims. We are not part of the States of Guernsey.
We provide, develop and maintain high-quality affordable homes for local people in housing need.
Any financial surplus is reinvested into maintaining existing homes and delivering new housing.
We currently own and manage 1,049 homes across Guernsey, with a development pipeline of 154 additional homes up to 2031.
What we do
We:
provide affordable rented homes
manage and maintain existing properties
develop new housing across the island
support sustainable long-term communities
Our focus is on delivering safe, well-managed homes for people who cannot meet their housing needs in the private market.
How new homes are funded
New affordable homes are delivered with support from Affordable Housing Capital Grant funding provided by the States of Guernsey.
This funding bridges the gap between the cost of building homes locally and the lower rents charged to keep housing affordable.
Rents are typically set at or below 80% of private market rents.
