Bolton Community Homes is Bolton’s strategic housing partnership.  It is one of a number of partnerships which contribute to the Local Strategic Partnership for Bolton (known as the Bolton Vision Partnership).

Registered at Companies House and with a Board or 12 Directors, BCH represents a wide ranging cross sector partnership of the local authority, housing and regeneration service providers, service users and developers in the Bolton area.

Collectively, individual Company Members of BCH:-

• Manage and maintain over 25,000 homes.
• Provide support to numerous service users in supported and temporary housing.
• Directly employ over 1300 people in the Bolton area.
• Lead on the delivery of a wide range of regeneration initiatives.

Our vision is to enable the development and management of housing in Bolton in a way that helps to create sustainable communities and neighbourhoods that work.  It will also provide a framework for service excellence and continuous improvement, recognising the value and importance of diversity, choice and opportunity for all.

• Financial Inclusion Working Group
