Stockport Homes is an arm’s length management organisation formed in 2005 to manage housing stock across Stockport on behalf of Stockport Council.

Stockport Homes is committed to maximising the employment, skills and training opportunities for residents of the Borough and Stockport Homes’ customers, and particularly to ensuring that the outcomes from employment, skills and training opportunities are realistic, tailored, and sustained. The primary aims of this Agreement are to seek to promote social justice, tackle poverty, address inequalities and address climate change, and the services are provided in furtherance of these primary aims. Stockport Homes requires the provision of employment and training services, focussed on opportunities for employment and training (including pre-employment training, training and education in a classroom setting, and on-the-job training) through work on Stockport Homes’ voids properties, capital works on Stockport Homes’s housing stock, and other work opportunities.
