Like other housing associations this has a complicated family tree. 

From : "Paddington Churches Housing Association (PCHA) was formed in 1965. Many families in Paddington were living in poor and extremely overcrowded conditions, often without even basic facilities. It was estimated that 40,000 people were living in just 6,000 homes – 86 per cent of which did not have their own bath or toilet. PCHA leased its first property to two families in March 1966 and continued to grow over the next few decades, merging with Springboard, Pathmeads and Genesis Housing Group in 2011."

It was probably at that merger that it changed its name to Genesis Housing Association. Then "Notting Hill Genesis was formed in April 2018 from Notting Hill Housing and Genesis Housing Association, two organisations that had provided homes for more than half a century."
