About Magna Housing
Magna Housing is a medium-sized, forward-looking housing association, providing high-quality and affordable homes across Dorset and Somerset. Our main activities are the construction, management and acquisition of non-market housing. We own and manage nearly 9000 properties and have a workforce of about 450 people. We aim to build 500 more homes over the next three years.
We were established over 30 years ago and our current structure was formed in 2017 with the amalgamation of Magna Housing Ltd, Magna Housing Association Ltd and Magna West Somerset Housing Association Ltd.
Our vision is to create great homes together and we work closely with our customers and partners to deliver this.
We provide a range of homes, tenures and services; from rental to shared ownership; from leaseholds to sheltered; from garages to handyman services. We aim to be part of our community and create communities where people choose to live. We can do this because we are large enough to influence but small enough to care.
