Housing Associations provide homes for people who are unable to afford properties on the open market.  They can offer a number of different rental and purchase options depending upon an individuals circumstance.

A housing association must be registered with the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) in order to be eligible for funding.

Housing associations are a good example of co-operation between the public and private sectors because they make use of money from both. The Homes and Communities Agency, a government agency, channels public funds towards housing associations and then carefully monitors the homes developed and how they are managed.

Below is a comprehensive booklet which gives further information about housing associations and specific information about those operating in the local area.
