About PRHA
Contributing to local communities
PRHA believes in investing in the communities that it works within. We are based in Tower Hamlets, close to the borough of Hackney and the City. We have been working in these areas for 150 years & have developed our services as the needs of the local community have changed.
PRHA has also worked with East Thames, Tower Hamlets Playgroups & Under Fives Association, Surestart and Tower Hamlets Council to provide a children's centre for local people.
PRHA contributes to the local community through its involvement in Local Strategic Partnerships, Homelessness, Supporting People strategy groups and to the Children & Families Trust. It also works with the local community safety team on a number of local priorities.
PRHA is an active member of the Tower Hamlets Housing Forum, where we collaborate with other Registered Providers of social housing to improve services across the borough for our tenants. Our Chief Executive has lead responsibility for the Community Involvement Network, which aims to coordinate community development activities.
Many of PRHA's service users also actively contribute to their local communities by volunteering at community based or charity schemes.
Life enhancing activities
Many of PRHA's service users have a wealth of talents to offer - but being homeless often means having little time, money or opportunity to develop their creative side. PRHA staff work with local agencies including Crisis Skylight to help people build self-esteem, confidence and new interests in life. We regularly display their art and poetry in our offices.
