Ducane Housing Association Please click here to see our video.
We are a specialist association providing homes for postgraduate students and key workers. Most of the students we house are from overseas and study at Imperial College.
The key workers are nurses, medical technicians and teachers working in the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in West London and they comprise about 20% of our stock.
With over 30 year's experience, we can claim to be the first key worker housing association. Click here for more on our history.
The Association owns and manages over 260 homes, mainly in three local authority areas, Hammersmith & Fulham, Ealing and Camden.
Unlike many other housing associations, we provide furnished accommodation. We also have a much higher turnover of residents than many others and keep delivering excellent performance indicator results. Our maintenance service is provided by our direct labour force.
We have a reputation for providing high quality housing management and facilities management services. We also provide these accommodation and facilities management services for others.

We will be re investing in our stock to meet and exceed the Decent Homes Standard. The Board of the Association has ambitious plans to radically improve the Du Cane Road 'estate'.
