Together Housing Group is a social housing management company and affordable housing developer operating in the North of England and the East Midlands.[1] As of July 2024 Together Housing Group (THG) manages or owns around 38,000 homes, including rented social housing, affordable housing, and supported housing.[2]

The group was founded in April 2011 as parent company to various housing associations, including Chevin Housing Association, Pennine Housing 2000, Green Vales Homes, Twin Valley Homes, Housing Pendle,[3] and Harewood Housing Society.[4] In March 2016 these five individual housing associations were replaced with a single asset-owning subsidiary named Together Housing Association Limited (previously Hallam Housing Society)[5] while the Group itself converted to a Community Benefit Society.[6]
