About us

Broadland is a traditional charitable housing association working in Norfolk and North Suffolk.  We were set up in 1963 and our primary purpose is to help families and individuals in housing need access high quality affordable homes in Norfolk and North Suffolk.

We are committed members of Homes for Cathy, the coalition of over 100 housing associations committed to ending homelessness, and actively work to find solutions locally. 

We are committed to sustainability. We have been participating in the SHIFT assessments by Suss Housing since 2012 and our last four awards have been Gold.  We have been awarded the “Certified Sustainable Housing Label” from RITTERWALD, ratifying our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) credentials.
