We are PlaceShapers, a national network of around 100 place-based housing associations across England that help communities to thrive.
We welcome applications from housing associations who can demonstrate their long-term commitment to the places and communities where they operate.
Our network is run by members, for members and we are committed to a diverse, values-driven housing association sector. We connect, communicate, and collaborate for greater influence.
Our three-year strategic plan sets out how we are seeking to achieve our vision of putting place-shaping at the heart of decision making over the next three years.
