The current structure was formed in 2010 following the merger of Origin Group (Origin Housing Group Ltd.), SPH Housing (St. Pancras & Humanist Housing Association Ltd.,) and Griffin Homes (the Griffin Housing Association).

The St. Pancras & Humanist Housing Association (originally the Humanist Housing Association, part of the British Humanist Association) was formed out of the British humanist movement in order to provide accommodation for needy and elderly non-religious people, who faced discrimination from a housing sector that discriminated against them.[https://humanism.org.uk/about/our-history-since-1896/ Our History since 1896: Social Concerns] British Humanist Association, 2013.
