About Grand Union Housing Group

Grand Union Housing Group (GUHG) has a strong people-focussed culture and is ideally placed to create and sustain dynamic neighbourhoods across its operational area.

As well as providing affordable rented accommodation the Group also helps people to enter the housing market through Shared Ownership schemes. Currently developing more than 150 new homes per year in partnership with developers and landowners, it is committed to providing high quality, sustainable homes.

The Group has three subsidiary organisations: Aragon Housing Association, one of the largest affordable housing providers in Bedfordshire, MacIntyre Housing Association, which provides specialist accommodation and support to people with learning disabilities and South Northants Homes, which owns and manages 3,000 affordable homes transferred from South Northamptonshire Council in March 2008.

Since its formation in March 2008, GUHG has established itself as a major operator in the region. It owns and manages over 10,000 homes across Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and the surrounding counties.

We work in partnership with a number of other organisations and deliver both homes and services which benefit the community as a whole.

As the non asset holding parent, GUHG provides central services to its three subsidiaries. These include Finance, IT, HR, PR & Marketing and Business Development. Core services such as repairs, major improvements and housing management are provided by the subsidiaries to their tenants.

The Group Board has overall responsibility for the strategy, with operational matters delegated to the individual subsidiary Boards.
