Our History

The Masonic Housing Association (MHA) was formed in 1975 as an exempt charity to take advantage of the financial provisions made available to Housing Associations under the Housing Act of 1974.

Our objective is to build and manage housing schemes for the elderly who can generally lead an independent existence but would benefit for having community services.

MHA currently has 189 flats spread across five Houses in various parts of the country.The first House opened was Prebendal Close in Buckinghamshire which opened its doors in 1980 followed by Hamilton Court in Essex in 1983. Palmer Court in Northants was opened in 1984 and further enlarged in the early 2000.
Reading Court in Warwickshire was built in the late 1980’s and opened in 1987 followed by Wilson Keyes Court in Staffordshire in 1994.

As a consequence of receiving Government grants some lettings must be offered to nominees of the Local Authority and therefore MHA cannot restrict occupancy solely to those with Masonic connections. However,offering such residence the MHA is visibly demonstrating that Masonry in the Community is very much part of its ethos.

Strong support for each House has and is given by the various Lodges and other Masonic Orders within each Province.Such support provides additional amenities and social activities for our residents.

Today,the MHA is a vibrant forward thinking organisation which fully fulfils its mission of providing quality rented accommodation of a high standard to elderly people.
