Warm homes fit for the future

We’re investing in your homes to make sure they’re warm, safe, comfortable and fit for the future.

Our Capital Investment Programme for 2023/24 is delivering an ambitious scope of improvements across our housing stock, bringing lots of benefits to you and the environment.
