With the increasing cost and unpredictability of privately renting a property, affordable rented housing is in constant demand by working families, those who've retired and many more.
From April 2017 to March 2020 we developed almost 600 new affordable homes. We have investment plans to build another 600 affordable homes across Wiltshire, Mendip, Bath and surrounding areas by the end of 2023. These new affordable homes are for social rent, affordable rent and share ownership.
These properties will provide a stable and affordable home for people.
We work with a number of partners and local councils in developing new homes.
Whilst most of our new homes help to increase our social housing stock, any profits made from the sale of homes on the open market, are reinvested into future developments.
Shared ownership is a great way to get a foot on the housing ladder. Visit our shared ownership pages for more information.
Over the last year, we’ve shared with you some of the feedback from our quarterly customer satisfaction surveys. These surveys, carried out by Acuity on our behalf, are part of the tenant satisfaction measures (‘TSMs’) introduced in 2023 by the Regulator of Social Housing.
All social housing landlords must carry out surveys with their tenants using a set of twelve TSM questions. Alongside these survey questions, landlords must also collect data and publish ten management information measures that focus on operational areas, such as safety and compliance.
We now have our first full year of these TSM results, and we’re pleased to report that for each survey measure our results are in the top 25% of our peer group of housing associations.
You can view our full TSM results, including survey and management information measures, on the new Tenant Satisfaction Measures page of our website: ecs.page.link/bDNRG

I've no words for how I feel about the the person who did the grass again.
I have to say the new team (about a year now) are very good a bit messy at times but wet grass what can you do. They seem to be up at least once a month.
Wiltshire Council is developing its 2024-2029 Accommodation Strategy and seeks input from older residents on maintaining independence in their homes. If staying at home is impractical, the Council aims to understand how local services can be improved to feel like home for residents. Your feedback in this survey will help shape the strategy and inform future housing needs for older people in Wiltshire.
Follow this link to the survey it should take no longer than 10 minutes and will really help Wiltshire Council understand the potential needs and wishes of those aged 50+ Accommodation Strategy Survey ecs.page.link/k8bBw
