Who we are

Squared is a not-for-profit housing association that has been providing affordable housing in Luton and Central Bedfordshire since 1962.  We strive to find ways to continuously develop and grow our services with our customers needs at the heart of everything we do.

We’ve been working with our local community for over 60 years and strive to provide our customers with stability, equality, honesty and firm foundations that they can depend on. 

The name Squared reflects everything we do. When a number’s squared it’s a multiple of itself – it’s more. When it comes to us and our services, we listen… but we listen more, we care… but we care more and we’re supportive… but we’re more supportive.

We believe the world would be a greater place if everything was fair and Squared.

What we do

We are proud to support the local community and embrace its diversity. Our aim is to empower individuals to make choices about their lives on their journey to lead fulfilled, independent lives, through our robust approach to tackling local housing needs and homelessness.

We don’t just give people a key, we offer on-going support to unlock their potential.  We don’t just give advice; we offer genuine warmth and non-judgmental care.  

We provide homes and homes with support in Luton and Central Bedfordshire. To complement this work we also run a landlord service and a social enterprise inspired cleaning and gardening service.

Why we do it

We believe everyone deserves a chance to improve their life. Our goal is to help people gain clarity on their challenges and how to overcome them and empower them to make the right choices – for now and their future. We aim to be there with practical and emotional support at every step as they make the journey to a happier, independent life.

How we do it

We’ve adopted a coaching culture that focuses on asking people simple but powerful questions. It helps them see for themselves what they need and then make crucial decisions that they follow through on.

This approach not only helps our customers to progress further and faster, it helps our team members to develop as people and professionals too. In turn, this means they’re then able to give our customers even better services and support.

Our ways of working

At Squared we truly believe in our vision. We work closely with our values in everything we do to make sure we are travelling in the right direction as we strive to achieve it. This is how we create a great place to work, providing the best possible service to our customers, and building ourselves enjoyable and rewarding careers.
