What we do

BuildEast is an informal alliance of the 14 largest developing housing associations based across the East of England, committed to providing a range of housing that meets the needs and ambitions of our divergent communities.

• Share information/experience to help improve the efficiency of BuildEast members
• Form a lobbying body on issues we want to try and influence
• Raise the profile of housing associations through insightful research
• Network and try to influence key decision makers
