The world is changing, and our business is evolving too

We want to offer a more local service, listening to our residents to improve what we do and increase accountability. We want to provide a more personalised experience, with services that are designed around you.

We’re part of Flagship Group, along with two other local housing providers Suffolk Housing and Flagship Homes. The Group owns, manages, and maintains 32,000 homes in the East – and one of them is yours. From today, each housing provider will manage around 10,000 homes, which means that there may be some changes that affect you. Use our postcode finder below to find out.

 

If you’re joining Victory Housing, then welcome! We’re committed to providing you with an outstanding service, one that focuses on the things that matter and recognises that a little kindness goes a long way.
