The Thames Valley Housing Association (also Thames Valley housing) is a medium-sized housing association based in Twickenham, South West London, which owns or manages around 15,000 homes. These include traditional rented housing, shared ownership, key worker and student accommodations.

Background

Thames Valley was founded in 1966 and began their first building project in 1968.[2]

In 2015 plans were announced for Thames Valley to merge with the Genesis Housing Association to form Genesis Thames Valley. The unified organization was to build around 3,000 homes per year, of which around 1,800 would be affordable housing.[3] The merger was put on hold in July of that year by Nationwide Building Society, and eventually, the plan fell through.[4][5] Had the merger been completed, the two combined organizations would have represented 47,000 homes.[5]

Fizzy

Fizzy Living, founded in February 2012, is the rental arm of Thames Valley Housing.[6][7] The venture received private capital from the Macquarie Group of Australia.[8]
