About us

Tower Hamlets Homes manages homes and estates owned by Tower
Hamlets council. We are responsible for the day-to-day running of
the estates - from collecting rent and service charges and
carrying out repairs, to improving homes and estates.
The council is still the landlord and the owner of the homes.
Tenants are still council tenants and leaseholders are still
council leaseholders, with the same rights and
responsibilities.
Tower Hamlets Homes was set up by the council
as an arms length management organisation, part of a
government plan to channel extra money into council
housing.
Tower Hamlets Homes is a separate not-for
profit company controlled by the council and managed by a board of directors. The board is one third
residents, giving tenants and leaseholders a direct voice on the
housing service, one third councillors and one third independents,
who bring specialist skills and expertise.
