Tai Calon, established on July 26th, 2010, is a not-for-profit organisation and the largest provider of homes in Blaenau Gwent, managing over 6,000 properties. As a major local employer, with more than 280 dedicated staff, Tai Calon plays a key role in the community, collecting over £31 million in affordable rent each year to maintain and improve services.

Since 2010, Tai Calon has invested more than £243 million to ensure its homes meet and exceed the Welsh Housing Quality Standard (WHQS), reinforcing the belief that everyone deserves a safe, comfortable place to live.

Tai Calon is more than just a housing provider; it’s a champion of sustainability and community growth. Tai Calon integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into its operations, aiming to reduce its carbon footprint and contribute to the fight against climate change. Tai Calon embraces diverse voices and celebrates the contributions of its customers in shaping the future of Blaenau Gwent.

Looking ahead, Tai Calon remains committed to environmental sustainability, reducing carbon emissions, and supporting the local economy. Through strong governance and transparency, the organisation ensures that its homes not only provide a safe place to live but also contribute to a higher quality of life for everyone.
