About Us.
Who We Are.
Steve Biko Housing Association is one of only two black and racial minority (BRM) housing associations based on Merseyside.
We provide quality, affordable homes and services primarily, though not exclusively, for BRM people in need of housing.
We currently own 276 homes comprising of family houses, sheltered accommodation and general needs flats. We also have a small number of shared ownership schemes.
The majority of our properties are currently located in the south inner-city areas of Liverpool.

We outsource our repairs through HMS and finance services through managing agents, North West Housing Services. We monitor and manage the services that HMS and North West Housing Services provide through a management agreement. Both HMS and North West Housing Services follow our policies and procedures when delivering services for us.
