Beech Housing Association was formed in 1983.  It is a non-charitable Industrial and Provident Society and a housing association.

It is a member of the Adactus Group Structure and a subsidiary of Adactus Housing Group Ltd.

Formed in 1983 as a subsidiary of Family Housing Association (Manchester) Ltd to specialise in the development and sale of shared ownership housing.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s the Association's activities concentrated in Manchester and Trafford.

In 2002, the Association accepted a transfer of engagements from Palatine Home Ownership Ltd which expanded its area of operation into Lancashire.

In 2006, the Association accepted a transfer of engagements from Quest Housing Association Ltd.  For the first time this added rented properties into the Association's portfolio.

In 2009, the Association entered into a management agreement with Chorley Community Housing Ltd.  This agreement placed the management of the ex-Quest properties with CCH.
