Housing association puts in place ‘live monitoring of contractor risk’ after undershooting development target

Citizen Housing’s missed its housing completions target for 2024/25, due in part to insolvency of contractors.

The 32,000-home Birmingham-based landlord, in its annual financial statement, revealed it completed 401 homes in the year to 31 March 2025. This was below its target of 476 and lower than the 653 it completed last year.

The landlord said: “Delivery was impacted by contractor insolvency, local authority and utility delays and limited subcontractor availability. Lessons from recent insolvencies are being captured and will inform future schemes, with updates provided to senior leadership and the development board.”
