G15 (housing associations)
The G15 is an organisation of the largest housing associations in and around Greater London in the United Kingdom,[1] which collectively are responsible for managing in the region of 600,000 homes in London.[2] They state their purpose as "to solve the housing crisis by delivering good quality, affordable homes of all types".[3]
Helen Evans, of Network Homes, is the chair of the organisation with Geeta Nanda OBE, of Metropolitan Thames Valley (MTVH), being vice chair.
