About Aster Group

Aster Group is a housing association which provides quality, affordable homes to thousands of people across the south of England and London. Its vision is that everyone has a home.  Aster’s skilled team is committed to providing a good, seamless service, delivered excellently, with a strong personalised focus. They constantly listen to and engage with customers to co-design and improve their offer so customers feel empowered to thrive.

Aster Group is committed to playing its part in tackling the housing shortage by delivering a wide range of housing options. Last year, the business delivered 997 homes offering affordable and social rent, shared ownership and open market sale options and is set to provide a further 1,175 during 2024/25. Looking ahead, the Group plans to invest £1.9 billion to achieve its long-term target to add 8,500 homes to its portfolio by 2030. Aster is on track for meeting and exceeding its goal to ensure the energy efficiency in all its homes meet EPC C standard by 2030.

The not-for-dividend business was established in 1990 and has £2.4 billion worth of social housing assets (unaudited). The Group reinvests profits from open market sale and shared ownership to support the development of affordable homes. It owns and maintains over 37,000 homes and employs nearly 2,000 people.

Aster is relentless in its mission to extend a positive impact into its communities. This is achieved in many ways including through The Aster Foundation, which is a registered charity. For more information visit www.aster.co.uk/foundation.

Central and Cecil Housing Trust (C&C), East Boro Housing Trust (EBHT) and Enham Trust form part of the Aster Group. For further information visit: www.ccht.org.uk, www.ebht.org.uk and www.enhamtrust.org.uk.
