Our roots Accessibility tools Change language Customers New home Careers Corporate Corporate About us Our roots Our roots CHP was established in March 2002 to meet local housing need by providing affordable homes for rent. We started managing around 7,000 existing homes which were transferred to us by Chelmsford Borough Council, along with a small number of their employees. From the start, our focus has always been on people, the people that live in our homes and the communities we serve, and our own people at CHP. Whilst our passion for people remains the same today and we continue to be a locally managed and governed housing provider, there have been significant changes. Our structure and how we're governed have evolved to enable our ambitious plans of providing more affordable homes and to make sure we maintain high standards. We now manage over 10,700 homes and provide services for over 27,000 customers in the eastern region of England. Since May 2019 we have been listed on the FCA register as a Community Benefit Society, which means we operate for the benefit of the wider community and re-invest our profits in the community.
