COVID-19 and HCHA

HCHA houses significant numbers of older and vulnerable people, many of whom are at a higher risk of becoming seriously ill if infected, so we have taken extra care to ensure that our work focuses on the safety of our entire community. We hope that everyone who can be vaccinated has been, or will choose to be soon. Though the restrictions have been lifted, COVID-19 has not gone away, and we strongly encourage our tenants, visitors, staff and contractors to remain cautious, and to continue to take care, so that we all keep ourselves and each other safe.

Our Values

We started out in 1964 and were set up by members of local churches who got together to do something practical to change the living conditions of elderly people in Harrow. That ethos continues to drive our social mission and values today. We are proud of our past and we aim to continue to provide more homes for more people in the future. We may be small but HCHA is an ambitious organisation that is also strongly committed to delivering the best value for money for both tenants and the public purse.
