Making a positive difference to women's lives by providing homes & services to support women to achieve their potential
About us
Women’s Pioneer Housing was established in 1920 by women and men who believed in gender equality and the need to redress the disadvantages women experienced in obtaining and retaining a secure home. Their aim was: "...to cater for the housing requirements of professional and other women of moderate means who require individual homes at moderate rents…." We are London’s largest specialist housing association for women, and our vision today is making a positive difference to women’s lives. Our mission is to provide homes and services which offer a springboard to independent women to achieve their potential. We aim to influence others to do the same. We own almost 1000 properties in eight boroughs in west and north-west London: Kensington & Chelsea, Hammersmith & Fulham, Camden, Ealing, Wandsworth, Hillingdon, Harrow, and Westminster. A map illustrating Women’s Pioneer properties across London, divided in 3 patches, is below. 80% are studio and one-bedroom flats, mostly in converted Victorian buildings, many of which are listed or in conservation areas. There are also 90 leasehold flats, and a small but growing number of higher rental investment properties that fund our future development plans. Our sheltered housing for single women over 60 is located in Kensington & Chelsea, where we are the largest sheltered housing provider. We have 178 flats for women over 60 who wish to live independently in their own home but with added security and back-up support on site and on call. Despite changes in social attitudes and legislation, women are still disadvantaged when it comes to housing.

HG Construction are pleased to have been appointed as the main contractor on a new affordable homes scheme at Gunnersbury Lane for L&Q, one of the UK’s leading housing associations and developers, on behalf of Women's Pioneer Housing. Brook House will comprise 102 new homes over 15 storeys and is located opposite Acton Town Underground Station. The homes will be let at social rents to single women by Women’s Pioneer Housing, a specialised housing association founded in 1920 by suffragists. The organisation aims to support women who face inequality, abuse and disadvantages, especially in the housing market. Initial works will involve the demolition of existing buildings on the site, which have become uneconomic to repair and are unsuitable for refurbishment. They will aim to minimise disruption throughout the construction of these new homes and their community liaison team will keep in regular contact with local residents and businesses. They will also maximise opportunities to contribute positively to the local community throughout this scheme, particularly in relation to education, employment and skills development.
