About Flint Housing
Flint Housing is a for-profit registered provider of social housing headquartered in London. Founded in 2020 by Stephen Stone, former CEO of Crest Nicholson, and William Rucker, former Chair of Lazard UK, we support the delivery of new build, high-quality affordable housing across England.
With an investment capacity of over £1 billion through the partnership with investment funds managed by Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing (“MSREI”) and as an Investment Partner to the Greater London Authority, Flint Housing has been developing a pipeline of forward funded and forward purchase schemes across England within and outside of the s106 framework by working in partnership with large and SME housebuilders.
We are a small, focused and driven team, bringing together deep expertise from the housebuilding, social housing, and financial sectors, operating in an entrepreneurial organisation. We are aiming to deliver over 3,000 new-build, high quality, affordable homes over the medium term and to create a genuine and lasting positive social impact for our residents and communities through the provision of safe and secure housing. Ensuring we comply with all health & safety and compliance requirements is paramount to our strategy.
This is an exciting moment to join Flint Housing and help shape what that future looks like.
