Orbit Group

Orbit Group

Orbit Group is a group of housing associations providing affordable housing to around 33,000 households in England, mainly in the Midlands, East Anglia and the south east.[1]

History

Orbit Housing Association was established in 1966.[2] In 1998 the company established Orbit Bexley Housing Association to take on the management of the 4,500 transferred from the London Borough of Bexley, under a process known as large scale voluntary transfer (LSVT). Thanet Community Housing Association joined the group in 2004 and brought with it stock in east Kent. In October 2007 Orbit Bexley and Thanet Community were merged to form Orbit South.

Orbit is active in promoting shared ownership as well as providing homes for rent. In 2010, Orbit helped 117 families through the Government's 'Mortgage Rescue' scheme, more than any other association.[3]
