- Almshouse Management: A third of our stock is managed on behalf of other almshouse charities throughout the London area. This leaves their trustees in overall control of the almshouses whilst we manage the day to day operations, thus improving services for residents
- Repairs and Building Management Services: Where almshouse trustees wish to continue to manage the almshouses but would like help to ensure their buildings and repairs are of the highest order
- Mergers: In the last few years we have merged with a number of almshouse charities where trustees have decided the best interests of their residents are served in this way and wish to retain the almshouse ethos

How we work
Together with managing our own almshouses, the management services undertaken show the variety of ways in which Harrison Housing has been able to pursue its charitable objectives and serve a large number of older people in the specialist area of housing and supporting older people and to strengthen the almshouse movement
Enquires about our services continue on a regular basis as we work closely in cooperation with the Almshouse Association, trustees, local authorities, the Homes and Communities Agency and other funding bodies in order to provide an efficient and effective service
