Catalyst

Catalyst is one of the leading housing associations in London and the South East, managing over 37,000 rented and shared ownership homes. Our purpose is to provide homes people love for all our customers regardless of tenure type and to create communities and neighbourhoods that can flourish and grow. As a not-for-profit organisation we reinvest money raised from property sales into developing and maintaining more affordable homes.

We are experts in placemaking and developing tenure-blind neighbourhoods and our approach to creative design, effective urban planning and high-quality development is underpinned by our long-term interest in our neighbourhoods. By adopting a stewardship role, we ensure that the places we help to create are well maintained, look great and remain desirable places to live.

Through Catalyst Communities we help our communities grow, with bespoke neighbourhood strategies which deliver initiatives such as youth mentoring projects, after school homework programmes, exercise classes and much more. We also deliver an individual offer to our most vulnerable residents, with services such as financial inclusion courses to help people with their money; parenting support classes for young families and employment courses for those out of work.

In September 2021 Peabody and Catalyst confirmed their intention to join together. Catalyst will join the Peabody Group as a subsidiary in 2022, subject to required lender consents and Catalyst shareholder approval, before fully merging in 2023.
