Islington and Shoreditch Housing Association.

Islington and Shoreditch Housing Group (ISHA) is a community and neighbourhood based Housing organisation managing and developing quality affordable housing for people in North and East London, especially in Hackney, Islington and Waltham Forest.

ISHA consists of Islington and Shoreditch Housing Association, with subsidiaries being Lien Viet Housing Association and Urban Style Ltd.

Islington and Shoreditch Housing Association is smaller and more local than many other housing associations operating in London. We want ISHA to stand out of the crowd as a special housing association, that: Consistently provides excellent services, listens and acts upon feedback from our customers, continually improves the efficiency quality and value of our services, goes the extra mile to make sure things get done quickly.

We work in close co-operation with our local authorities, the Homes and Communities Agency, the Tenant Services Agency, and other local Housing Associations, including Black and Minority Ethnic, special needs Housing Associations and co-operatives. Investment in development is provided by the Homes and Communities Agency. ISHA leads the North River Alliance (NRA), which is a consortium of north and east London community based housing associations.
