Building a better world.
At Housing Hand, we believe everyone deserves a fair chance at finding a home. That commitment doesn't stop at our products. It shapes the way we work, the partnerships we form, and the causes we choose to support.
Fair access to renting
Renting in the UK shouldn't be harder for some people than others. But for international students, young professionals without a UK credit history, care-experienced young people, and those without family support, it often is.
That's why everything we do is built around removing those barriers. Our guarantor service, our university partnerships, and our additional products all exist to make sure that background, circumstance, or where you come from doesn't determine whether you can find somewhere to live.

Supporting care-experienced and estranged students
"We work with over 70 universities across the UK. More than 41 of those partnerships include specific arrangements for care-experienced and estranged students, ensuring that young people without family support can access the accommodation they need to pursue their education.
Care-experienced and estranged students often face the same barriers as any other renter, but without the safety net that many take for granted. No family guarantor, no parental support with deposits, and often navigating the rental market entirely on their own for the first time. Our university partnerships are designed to make sure those students are not left behind.
If you work in student services and would like to find out how we can support your students, we'd be happy to talk."

Transforming lives through education
In 2024, Housing Hand partnered with the Better Future Collective, in association with Kapara London, to support the education of three young girls at Sneh Girls Shikshan Sansthan school in Rajasthan, India.
The school provides free, high-quality education to girls from impoverished and often difficult backgrounds, in a safe and nurturing environment. Many of these girls would otherwise have no access to education at all.
For just £160, you can sponsor a girl's education for an entire year. If you'd like to support this initiative, you can find out more and donate at the Better Future Collective website.

Health and wellbeing as a right, not an extra
We know that feeling safe and supported goes beyond having a roof over your head. That's why every Housing Hand guarantor customer gets free access to 24/7 GP support, confidential mental health counselling, legal advice, and financial guidance throughout their tenancy.
For international tenants navigating an unfamiliar healthcare system, or students managing the pressures of living away from home for the first time, this service is there whenever they need it, day or night.

Our commitment going forward
We're proud of the work we do, but we know there's always more to do. Whether it's expanding our university partnerships, finding new ways to support vulnerable renters, or backing causes that align with our values, we're committed to using our position in the market to make renting fairer for everyone.
If you share that commitment and think there's an opportunity to work together, we'd love to hear from you.
