About Accent Group
What is Accent Group?
Accent is a housing association: "Since 1966, we've worked to provide tens of thousands of affordable quality homes to families across the country." Its About page says "We have over 21,000 homes throughout England to over 40,000 people across the country, with homes in the East, South, North East and North West". It "was formed in 1966, when it provided homes in Yorkshire, the North East and the North West, and was called Bradford & North Housing Association", rebranded as Accent in 2004, and merged with Nene Housing in 2005 and Peerless Housing in 2006. Its stated vision is "to give as many people as possible access to safe, sustainable, affordable housing".
