The Industrial Dwelling Society (1885) is a non profit social housing group.
IDS was established as the Four Per Cent Dwellings Company in 1885 by a group of Jewish philanthropists who hoped to relieve the overcrowding in homes in the East End of London.
Today, IDS manages around 1,500 properties in Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Camden, Haringey, Redbridge, Barnet and Hertsmere.
The housing stock includes flats, houses, sheltered housing, accommodation for people with special needs, as well as a number of shared ownership properties.
We currently employ over fifty staff.
Our tenants are reflective of the general ethnic mix but we maintain strong links with Jewish communities.
