HSPG: A social impact real estate company
HSPG is a social impact real estate company. Our mission is simple: Building partnerships, creating homes, developing
communities.
There is a critical shortage of affordable housing across the UK. We partner with Local Authorities and institutional investors to
acquire and manage high-quality, demand-driven homes across multiple tenures.
Across our Living Sector platforms, we are on track to acquire 12,000 homes by 2030. These homes are grouped into portfolios,
professionally managed by our team, and funded by long-term institutional capital. We deliver this through two specialist
operating platforms: Seahorse and PPHA.
Seahorse acquires, develops and manages homes for homeless residents across England through its Homeless Affordable Rent product,
meeting urgent housing need with professionally managed, high-quality accommodation.
North Star: creating over 5,000 homes by 2029.
PPHA, the Group’s Registered Provider, partners with local authorities, housebuilders and investors to deliver Section 106 and
grant-funded Affordable Rent and Shared Ownership homes, expanding supply and creating lasting social value.
North Star: creating homes for over 8,000 families or individuals by 2030.
Together, these platforms enable HSPG to meet housing need at scale, creating meaningful social impact for customers and
residents, while delivering sustainable, long-term returns for our partners.
