Our targets
Our targets
At settle we have a five-year plan that sets out our vision for the future. In it, we set ambitious targets because it pushes us to work harder and achieve the best we can. Sometimes that means we don’t achieve the targets, but does that mean we’ve failed? What we know is that we achieve more by being relentlessly ambitious.
How we’re doing
We are committed to increasing the supply of affordable homes in the areas in which we work. We have agreed with our Board that we will be agile about our housing targets, so that we continue to increase on the number of new homes we deliver, ensuring we do so in a financially responsible way.

We need to make sure we have sufficient funds to deliver our new homes and continue investing in existing properties. We measure this through our operating surplus. We have agreed a revised target with our Board for the financial year 2023/24 to achieve an operating surplus of 27%.
