What do housing associations do?

Housing associations are...

...not-for-profit

Housing associations are independent social businesses. They don't trade for profit. They reinvest any surpluses into improving neighbourhoods.

...great partners

By working in partnership with local authorities and others, they contribute to the success of communities by providing decent, affordable homes. They also offer vital services for communities, such as employment training, activities for young people and child care facilities.

...accountable

Housing associations are regulated by the Housing Corporation and the Audit Commission. Tenants can bring a complaint to an independent ombudsman.

...resourceful

They combine public and private funding to bring maximum investment to neighbourhoods. They have a reputation for sound management.
