- HousingAI is a new AI knowledge platform built specifically for the social housing market
- HousingAI helps landlords and local authorities to navigate housing law, regulation and best practice
- Built from a concept developed by the Healthy Homes Hub the platform will be rolled out to the sector in 2026
HousingAI, a new AI knowledge platform built specifically to support the social housing sector in England, has appointed Mike Ellis to the position of Chief Executive ahead of its launch to the sector in 2026.
Mike is an accomplished leader and coach with extensive experience managing public sector transformation initiatives, including projects for NHS England. In addition, he has served as managing director for multiple mid-sized to large companies spanning various industries.
Mike joins as the platform undergoes rigorous testing with representatives from across the sector ahead of becoming available in 2026. Originally a concept developed by the Healthy Homes Hub specifically for the social housing sector, HousingAI will be an expert resource for housing professionals to navigate housing law, regulation and best practice and apply that knowledge to their own policies and day-to-day work.
During 2025 the Hub has been developing the design and functionality of the platform with input from several leading housing providers including Clarion, Aster, Hyde Group and Anchor. It is now established as an independent platform outside of the Hub. Anthony Collins are strategic legal partners for the platform which will be powered by AWS cloud computing services.
Commenting on his appointment, Mike Ellis, Chief Executive of HousingAI said:
“AI can be a game-changer for housing providers and operations, but it has to be AI that works exclusively for the sector. HousingAI was developed specifically for this reason, and I’m excited to help launch it into the sector.
“Constantly updated with the latest housing guidance, legislation and regulations, it will help ensure housing providers are operating correctly and efficiently. It has been built for the sector by the sector, meaning the knowledge it produces and shares is directly relevant and helps users save both time and money.”
Jenny Danson, Chief Executive of Healthy Homes Hub adds:
“Housing provision in the UK is inherently complex and complicated. We had the idea that there is a real opportunity to embrace AI to create compliance, regulatory and policy knowledge in a quick and efficient manner, providing valuable time back to users to spend with the most important part of the sector, the residents. Having refined the proposition with front-line housing professionals we are now delighted to see HousingAI standalone from the Hub and welcome Mike to launch the platform to the sector in collaboration with Anthony Collins and AWS.”
