Orwell leads a consortium of local housing providers developing locally collectively called e² (pronounced 'e squared'). The consortium comprises Orwell Housing Association, East Suffolk District Council and Ipswich Borough Council. 

Orwell provides various development services for these organizations, with Orwell securing grant funding from the Homes England both for itself and its partners.

This consortium is currently in contract with Homes England as part of the 2021 - 2026 Affordable Homes Programme and can access grant to build new homes across Suffolk, Norfolk and North Essex.
