Abbott Housing Trust was formed in 1933 by Margaret Hill, CBE, whose primary objective was to "convert houses for the occupation of more than one family" and to aid ‘old aged pensioners'.

Our first acquisition was in Pembroke Road in April of that year. The trust grew rapidly over the first few years. By 1938 - when the trust's core focus was based around caring for and accommodating old and incapacitated men and women - 41 houses had been acquired and divided into 175 flats, providing affordable accommodation for 416 people.
Today, Abbott Housing Trust owns and manages 385 properties within the London Borough of Haringey. In 2013 we celebrate our 80th Birthday.

One third of our housing stock is ‘older persons' housing, consisting of five high quality and relatively modern sheltered housing schemes. The remaining two thirds of our stock is largely general needs housing typically located in large converted Victorian/ Edwardian houses. Our homes are situated within the Abbott, Crouch End, Harringay and Tottenham areas of the London Borough of Haringey
Our tenants are involved in monitoring our performance, recruiting staff and in decisions about the future.

Nearly half of our tenants are from ethnic minority backgrounds, and our staff speak different languages so we can be sure everyone's needs are understood. Much of our stock is already at Decent Homes standard and we are working to Decent Homes Plus. We provide a local and responsive maintenance service.
