The Masonic Housing Association (MHA) is celebrating a major milestone this year—its 50th anniversary.
Founded in 1975, the MHA was established as an exempt charity following the introduction of the Housing Act of 1974. Its mission has remained consistent for five decades: to provide affordable, sheltered housing for elderly individuals who are able to live independently but benefit from being part of a supportive community.
The Association opened its first scheme at Prebendal Close in 1980 and now manages 189 flats across five properties throughout the UK. Prebendal Close remains a flagship location, offering subsidised accommodation primarily to council-referred tenants from the local area.
The golden anniversary event will include a Meet & Greet followed by speeches from key figures including MHA Chairman Geoffrey Dearing, Timothy Anders, Provincial Grand Master of Buckinghamshire Freemasonry. A celebratory cake-cutting and buffet will follow.
As MHA marks half a century of service, the occasion stands as a testament to the vital role housing associations play in supporting independent living and fostering community for older residents.
