Biographical history
The Hornsey Housing Trust was founded in 1933 by Margaret Hill, C.B.E. Its object was to convert houses for occupation by more than one family and to let them at low rents to help those on low incomes to find improved accommodation. Increasingly the trust provided homes for elderly persons. Hornsey Borough Council provided loans to assist in the purchase of property for conversion. After the Second World War, the trust joined with other charitable organisations to build homes, mainly for the elderly. It still continues to acquire properties for rehabilitation.
The trust is administered by a Committee of Management. A full time housing manager was first appointed in about 1945. Previously, this work and that of collecting rents was carried out by unpaid volunteers.
