The G15 is an organisation of the largest housing associations in and around Greater London in the United Kingdom,^[1] which collectively are responsible for managing in the region of 600,000 homes in London.^[2] They state their purpose as "working to solve the housing crisis by delivering good quality, affordable homes of all types".^[3]

In February 2023, the G15 group confirmed that Fiona Fletcher-Smith, group CEO of L&Q, has been appointed as the network’s chair. The moves came after confirmation that current vice-chair Richard Hill (CEO of One Housing), will be joining BPHA as its new head in April.^[4]
