Business profile

Homes in Somerset is the largest housing provider in the county, managing more than 4,000 properties on behalf of Somerset Council. We ensure good quality, safe homes, are provided to the people who need them most.
As one of 15 Arm’s Length Management Organisations (ALMOs) across the UK, we pride ourselves on delivering the very highest standards.

We offer a range of housing solutions from one-bedroom bungalows to four-bedroom houses and all things in between. In addition, we can provide sheltered housing for anyone needing extra support, and Extra Care housing, where support staff can be available.

We offer Extra Care Housing for anyone with an assessed care need and allows our customers to live as independently as possible, in the security and privacy of their own homes.

We also offer further support through our Independent Living Service, available at 43 locations across Somerset, where customers have access to a team of staff that provides tenancy sustainment, support, and the reassurance of a 24/7 alarm system in case of emergency. It gives peace of mind to those who want independent living and allows for social engagement, with access to a communal hub or lounge area, where social activities are held.

We’re proud of our work and our engagement within the community, and we continue to measure and demonstrate our performance by carrying out a STAR (Survey of Tenants and Residents) assessment every quarter, which we publish online for everyone to access.
