After a remarkable career spanning over four decades, we announce the retirement of Tracey Gore, Director of Steve Biko Housing Association.

Tracey has been at the heart of the organisation since 2003, bringing with her a deep passion for social justice and community empowerment. She joined Steve Biko Housing Association after gaining invaluable experience at Neighbourhood Housing Services, Riverside Housing and Liverpool City Council and has become a powerful advocate for housing equality and anti-racism.

Under Tracey’s leadership, Steve Biko Housing Association has grown in strength and impact, remaining steadfast in its mission to provide high-quality homes and build communities without racism for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people. Her drive and commitment have shaped both the strategic direction and the everyday work of the organisation.

Beyond her role at Steve Biko Housing Association, Tracey has contributed significantly to the wider housing and community sector. She has chaired and served on numerous boards and committees, including Amadudu Women’s Refuge, Kuumba Imani Millenium Centre and Crawford House Enterprise Partnership and strategically, the National Housing Federation’s Better Social Housing Review Race Task Group, BME National, Liverpool City Region Equalities in Housing Group, Liverpool Race Equality Taskforce, and the Liverpool City Region’s Strategic Housing Association group. Her influence has helped to push forward policies and practices that prioritise fairness, equity, and inclusion. Tracey is also a Board member of One Vision Housing and since 2022, she has also brought her expertise and community focus to Everton in the Community, where she has served as a valued board member.

Tracey’s retirement marks the end of an era—not only for Steve Biko Housing Association but for all the spaces where she has worked tirelessly to challenge inequality and uplift underrepresented voices. Her impact is far-reaching, and her legacy will continue to inspire our work and the work of many others in the sector.

Tracey will be leaving the organisation in September/October 2025, following the successful recruitment and appointment of her successor.

We offer Tracey our heartfelt thanks and best wishes as she embarks on a well-earned retirement. Her dedication, courage, and leadership will not be forgotten.
