About

Curo is a housing association and house-builder based in the West of England. It manages more than 13,000 homes, serving over 25,000 customers, and delivers care and support services alongside housing. Curo also runs an active development programme, building hundreds of new homes each year to meet local demand.

Performance & Accountability

Curo is regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing (code LH4336). In November 2022, it retained the highest ratings for both governance (G1) and viability (V1), confirmed through a stability check. It is financially stable, with strong regulatory assurance. Curo is also a member of the Housing Ombudsman Scheme, with cases including a complaint about the handling of asbestos in a fire door.

Strategic Direction

The organisation’s strategy is to deliver more new homes across the region, while investing in existing stock and providing high-quality care and support services. Its dual role as landlord and developer is intended to meet growing demand for affordable housing while supporting wider community needs.

Resident Experience

Curo positions itself as a customer-focused organisation, with resident feedback informing services. Like many landlords, common issues raised include repairs, communication, and property safety. Ombudsman determinations highlight specific cases, such as the handling of asbestos, that reflect the importance of compliance and safety standards.
