What is a housing association?

A housing association is a not-for-profit organisation which believes in providing affordable, good quality housing for everyone. Housing associations are social landlords who provide housing and support often linked to specialist projects supporting social issues such as mental health, substance mis-use, the homeless or ex-offenders. Housing associations can provide a wide range of housing types and in terms of their legal status can come in many different forms, such as industrial and provident societies, trusts, co-operatives and limited companies. Housing associations are often also registered charities.
