G15 (housing associations)

The G15 is an organisation of the largest housing associations in and around the city of London in the United Kingdom,[1] which collectively are responsible for managing in the region of 410,000 homes in London. They state their purpose as "to solve the housing crisis by delivering good quality, affordable homes of all types".[2]
