Harvest Housing Group came into being in April 1999 following restructuring of the Manchester & District Housing Group. The Group consists of eight separate organisations as shown below.
Harvest Housing Group manages over 18,000 homes throughout the North West of England and alongside a full range of mainstream housing association activity - general needs, sheltered housing, single people, supported housing, residential care and low-cost home ownership schemes, Harvest works in the housing property and regeneration markets in addition to meeting a large variety of specialist housing and related services needs.
The Group is made up of Industrial and Provident Societies and Companies limited by guarantee. Most of the members are registered social landlords (RSLs) and some are charitable. This mix allows the Group to pursue a wide range of housing activities in an efficient and tax effective way.
