The Partnership Gateway
A note from Jade & Will
We wanted finding the right housing partner to be simpler.
We’re Jade Boyles-White and Will Smith, directors at Smith White. Between us, we work across affordable housing, land, planning and development — bringing together the people who have homes to deliver and the people who can help make that happen.
Through our work, we see both sides of the same challenge. Developers need to get their Section 106 homes in front of suitable housing providers. Housing providers need to find homes in the right places, with enough information to decide whether a scheme fits their plans.
The idea behind Partnership Gateway grew from that connection. We wanted to bring our relationships and affordable housing knowledge into a place where finding S106 homes feels as straightforward as using a property portal.
For us, this is about more than putting listings online. It’s about making the first conversation easier, helping good schemes reach the right people, and supporting the delivery of more affordable homes.

From an idea to a shared gateway.
Start with the right information
We bring the schedule of homes, tenure mix, planning position and delivery programme together, alongside housing-need context where verified data is available. Housing providers can assess a listing without starting from a blank page.
Connect beyond existing contacts
We’ve built a national housing-provider database, mapped affordable housing stock nationwide and engage with providers regularly. That network helps us put listings in front of the people they are relevant to.
Keep the conversation moving
Housing providers can save listings, set area-specific alerts, ask questions and register interest or submit a bid. Developers can follow those conversations in one place. Listing and browsing are free.
Our own identity. Smith White expertise behind it.
Partnership Gateway is a dedicated portal with its own identity, powered by Smith White. It draws on our hands-on work in affordable housing partnerships and the wider land and development market.
Smith White is rooted in the South West and active nationwide. We support landowners, developers, housing providers and investors with land, planning, affordable housing and development consultancy — from assessing a scheme to finding the right partner.
The portal is the straightforward, self-service starting point. Where a site needs more tailored support, our team can help with bespoke affordable housing partnerships and wider development advice.
