EEHA

What EEHA does

Epsom and Ewell Housing Association (EEHA) is an independent, non-profit charitable housing association founded in 1949 and headquartered at 11 Jeal Oakwood Court, 15 St Martins Avenue, Epsom, Surrey, United Kingdom. The organization's sole operational focus is providing sheltered housing accommodation for older people aged 65+ with limited financial means, primarily those with a local connection to the Epsom and Ewell borough. EEHA operates 91 one-bedroom and studio self-contained flats across four buildings (Kavanagh Court, Coulthurst, Oakwood, and Jeal Oakwood Court) located in a conservation area within walking distance of Epsom town centre. All properties are equipped with warden support and a 24-hour emergency alarm system; communal lounges and tenant consultation processes (biannual tenant meetings, AGM) support community engagement. The organization employs 12 staff and is governed by a voluntary Board of Management of up to 12 unpaid members.

EEHA's core service delivery relies on a straightforward property-and-support model. The underlying technology is a 24-hour emergency alarm system deployed across all 91 units, with an ongoing refurbishment programme converting studio flats into one-bedroom units fitted with walk-in showers and energy-efficient heaters. Application intake is managed by a Housing Officer via phone, email, and downloadable application forms, with eligibility assessment requiring age (65+), local connection to Epsom and Ewell, means testing, and demonstrated ability to live independently. Marketing is entirely relationship-based, relying on referrals from Epsom and Ewell Borough Council, Age UK Epsom, and word-of-mouth through existing tenant networks.

EEHA's business model is a single revenue stream — regulated social housing rents — collected from 91 tenancies at affordable/social rent levels set under oversight of the Regulator of Social Housing. As a charitable Co-operative and Community Benefit Society (FCA registration 13658R, Regulator of Social Housing registration L0038), EEHA reinvests all surplus into housing services rather than distributing profit. The organization is a member of the National Housing Federation and operates with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no external ownership. Strategic partnerships with the local Borough Council and Age UK Epsom serve as the primary referral channels for tenant allocation.

Broad incumbents

• Hyde Group: Large UK housing association operating in London and southern England (including Surrey), providing general needs and sheltered housing for older residents. Comparable as a charitable housing provider serving elderly tenants in the same broad region as EEHA.
• Notting Hill Genesis: Major London and southern England housing association providing social and sheltered housing for older residents. Comparable operating model and regulatory framework, serving a similar demographic with similar supported independent living services.
• Clarion Housing Group: Largest housing association in the UK, providing general needs and sheltered housing. Comparable as a registered provider regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing and a member of the National Housing Federation, though operating at a vastly larger scale.
• Anchor Hanover Group: One of the largest not-for-profit providers of specialist housing and care for older people in England. Directly comparable as a charitable housing association serving the 65+ demographic with sheltered and extra-care housing, though at vastly greater scale (over 60,000 units).
• Sanctuary Housing: Major UK housing association providing affordable and social housing including sheltered schemes for older people. Comparable operating model as a registered provider of social housing regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing, though Sanctuary operates nationally at scale.

Direct peers

• Housing 21: Not-for-profit provider of specialist housing and care for older people across England, operating Extra Care and sheltered housing schemes. Directly comparable service model for older residents with on-site support and emergency alarm systems.
• Longhurst Group: Mid-sized UK housing association providing sheltered and supported housing for older people across the Midlands and southern England. Most directly comparable to EEHA in terms of providing 24-hour emergency alarm systems, warden support, and specialist housing for elderly tenants.
• Habinteg: Smaller specialist UK housing association providing accessible and supported housing. Comparable as a smaller charitable registered provider of specialist housing with similar governance structure and regulatory standing, though focused on accessibility rather than age.

Others

• Age UK: National charity supporting older people across the UK, and a referral partner of EEHA. Not a direct housing provider but a critical ecosystem partner — Age UK Epsom is specifically named as a referral source for EEHA's elderly tenants.

Regional players

• Sage Housing: UK housing association providing affordable and supported housing, including sheltered accommodation. Comparable business model of regulated social rents and tenancy management, though Sage focuses primarily on the Midlands and North of England.
