Golden Lane Housing (GLH) has secured further financial backing to continue its growth ambitions, ensuring more people with a learning disability and autistic people have access to safe and suitable homes.

Lloyds Bank, one of the UK’s leading retail and commercial banks, has provided the organisation with a £10 million Revolving Credit Facility (RCF). This funding will support our ongoing investment in creating new housing across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, as well as enabling us to carry out improvements to existing homes.

As a specialist housing provider, Golden Lane Housing supports over 2,800 tenants, tackling the challenges that people with a learning disability and autistic people face in finding a suitable home. Each year, we house more than 250 people and continue to explore innovative ways to expand our housing offer.

The funding comes as part of Lloyds’ wider pledge to provide £200 million for smaller projects focused on supporting those experiencing homelessness or with special housing needs.

John Verge, Chief Executive of Golden Lane Housing, said:
“We have ambitious growth plans to meet the increasing demand for supported housing across the country. The financial backing from Lloyds allows us to continue investing in the development of much-needed homes, making improvements to existing properties, and ensuring our tenants have high-quality places to live.”

Dave Brigden, Head of Social and Supported Housing at Lloyds, added:
“Social and supported housing is an integral part of the UK’s housing landscape. We believe that everyone should have access to a stable, secure, and affordable home, and we are proud to assist Golden Lane Housing in its work to ensure its residents are supported to live independently.”

We remain committed to providing high-quality housing solutions and will continue working with partners to expand our impact in the supported housing sector.
