Phoenix Community Housing is a not-for-profit resident-led housing association based in south London.
We own and manage more than 7,600 homes in the Lewisham wards of Bellingham, Catford South, Downham and Grove Park. We are now starting to build new homes with an emphasis on sustainability and high quality design.
We are the first resident-led housing association in London. Our model empowers tenants and leaseholders to take a central part in decision-making and become shareholding members.
Tenants and leaseholders are the largest group on the management board. We encourage all residents to get involved with Phoenix to influence services and future priorities.
We support local community initiatives to improve the environment and quality of life for everyone who lives and works in south Lewisham.
We are based at a multi-purpose building called The Green Man.
This is located on a former pub site at the heart of the homes we own and manage and is much more than our headquarters. It offers a range of facilities, including a public cafe, Credit Union branch and venue space for our community.
Home Makers is a private lettings service from Phoenix.
Developed together with our leaseholders and initially launched as a pilot in late 2016, Home Makers offers a personal, professional and competitively priced service for private landlords in London, making full use of our experience in housing management and tenancy matters. Services include:
tenant finding
neighbourhood management
property management
rent collection
repairs and gas servicing.
As a result of increasing the number of homes that we manage, Home Makers enables Phoenix to have better influence and control of our homes and neighbourhoods. Any surplus from Home Makers will be gifted to Phoenix and reinvested into our community.
