Elim Elects First Female Chair of Board

Delivering Change.

The Elim Housing Group comprises Elim Housing Association (EHA) with social housing aims, and Lime Property Ventures (LPV), a commercial subsidiary which was established in early 2016.

Elim Housing Association was established in 1963. The association is a charitable registered social landlord (RSL) registered with the Financial Conduct Authority under the Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1965 (No. 16402R) and is also registered with the Homes and Communities Agency under the Housing Associations Act 1985 (No. LH0977).

The Group currently owns and manages around 800 homes in England and Wales. The portfolio is mainly comprised of general needs homes, supported housing units, and Gypsy and Traveller Pitches, but also includes flats and houses both rented and sold to homeowners. Our commercial subsidiary, Lime Property Ventures also provides 22 rooms for student accommodation.

Our main focus for new development is in the four key local authorities of Bristol, North Somerset, Gloucester and South Gloucestershire.
