About About Cynon Taf Community Housing Group:

Cynon Taf Community Housing Group (CTCHG) is a housing association based and rooted in Rhondda Cynon Taf.

We are committed to a vision of healthy valleys communities where everyone feels connected, supported and hopeful about the future. To play our part in that future vision we are on a mission to provide quality homes for current and future generations – and to service our communities by being an inspiring, trusted partner and employer.

We currently look after more than 2,000 homes for single people, couples and families, including four developments specifically for older people and, with specialist partners, two refuges for those fleeing domestic abuse and supported homes for people with learning disabilities.

We are also home to two subsidiaries: Down to Zero, a not-for-profit Community Benefit Society that we established to expand our community-led environmental activities. And Cwm Taf Care & Repair, which helps older homeowners and private renters to live independently in their own homes.

Our team is driven by a belief in the power of building strong communities – from creating healthier, greener homes or bringing partners together to develop new services, to helping people live up to their full potential. Driven by strong values of commitment, respect and integrity, we are committed to making a positive difference for our tenants, communities and people.
