Your Housing Group (YHG) has teamed up with Wates Living Space and ENGIE to deliver housing upgrades to more than 6,000 homes across the North of England.
The five-year, £54 million reinvestment programme will include kitchen, bathroom and boiler and heating replacements. Work are scheduled to begin in July.
A total of 17 apprenticeships will also be created on the programme.
Richard Woolfall, YHG's Head of Property Services, said: "We're passionate about building and managing high-quality homes and by modernising our existing properties our customers will enjoy living in a property that they're proud to call home.
"ENGIE and Wates share the same passion for housing as we do, and we're delighted to be working with them to make these improvements.
"The savings that will result from the planned investment will be used to realise our ambitious commitment to build 5,700 more new homes across the North of England over the next five years."
John Flower, Business Director, Wates Living Space, said: "We are delighted to be working with Your Housing Group on this significant reinvestment programme. Our proven track record of improving homes, while creating a lasting legacy for communities across the UK speaks for itself."
Neil Warburton, ENGIE's Regeneration Manager for North West, said: "Our work with Your Housing Group will not only enrich lives across the North, but our wider corporate commitments mean we can offer employment and training opportunities for people in the areas where we're working. We'll also use a local supply chain and materials to boost economic and social value."
