Eden Housing Association

Eden Housing Association (EHA) is a long established, community rooted rural housing provider based in the Eden Valley, North Cumbria. We own and manage over 2,000 affordable homes across the Eden Valley and North Lakes, serving some of England’s most sparsely populated and high demand rural communities.

Our core purpose is to provide good quality, safe and affordable homes and deliver services that help tenants live well. As a tenant focused organisation with consistently strong satisfaction levels, we work closely with communities, partners and local authorities to ensure our homes and services meet the needs of people across rural Cumbria.

While we continue to bring forward small numbers of new affordable homes where there is proven local need, our primary focus today is on:

• Investing in existing homes, with £5–6m each year committed to improving and maintaining properties across our communities.
• Supporting tenants’ wellbeing, including expanding financial inclusion support and strengthening our approach to customer engagement.
• Working collaboratively across Cumbria, including through the Cumbria Housing Partnership, to influence future investment and champion the specific needs of rural communities.

Our development activity complements this wider social purpose, with new homes delivered selectively in areas of acute rural need and often in partnership with community groups and local stakeholders. These schemes help sustain local villages and market towns, contributing to the long?term vitality of rural Cumbria.
