Today, Imani Housing Co-operative’s aims and objectives are to provide good quality permanent housing primarily for its members/tenants.
- We provide the opportunity for all stakeholders to develop their potential and relevant skills through effective educational and training facilities or via other support networks.
- In addition to homes in Wandsworth, Imani ALSO delivers temporary accommodation provision in Bradford, Yorkshire, giving us national impact.
- Imani aims to facilitate the fullest participation by our members/tenants in the management and service delivery of the cooperative’s housing provision.
- Imani works in partnership with external agencies, local authorities & other registered social landlords to advocate, secure, and access the necessary resources to improve the quality of life for Imani Housing Co-op stakeholders in particular & the wider communities it serves.
