Frequently asked questions about housing associations in the UK

There are approximately 1,600 housing associations in the UK. These include a mix of non-profit organisations, charities, and for-profit companies that provide a range of affordable housing options.
Individuals can apply for housing either directly through the association or via their local council, and are typically placed on a waiting list based on their level of need.
Housing associations in the UK are independent organisations providing affordable housing. While they operate autonomously, they’re regulated by the government and often receive public funding. This support enables them to offer various housing options—including social housing and shared ownership—to those in need.
Housing associations in the UK operate on a non-profit basis, reinvesting their income and receiving government funding to support their activities. They also invest their own money in regeneration projects and offering various support services such as training programs, advice services, and other local initiatives.
Housing associations in the UK are funded through a diverse range of sources, including government grants for new affordable housing projects, rental income from tenants, private loans from financial institutions, and investments from private investors and organisations.
In the UK, housing associations are regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH). While operating independently, the RSH is accountable to the government—specifically, the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government.
As of 2023, nearly 90 per cent of housing associations in the UK would consider partnerships with for-profit registered providers, due to shifting sentiments and constrained financial capacity. These collaborations take various forms, including development partnerships with private developers for new affordable housing, Section 106 Agreements for managing affordable units in private developments, and the creation of for-profit subsidiaries to generate income for social housing projects.
Housing associations follow regulatory standards for openness and fairness, engage tenants in decision-making processes, and report performance using Tenant Satisfaction Measures. Additionally, they adhere to governance codes emphasising probity and undergo regular independent audits. These measures ensure that high standards are maintained and stakeholder trust is fostered, even as housing associations explore new collaborative models with for-profit entities.

In UK housing associations, decisions on new developments are made by the board of directors and executive management. Key players include:

  • Board of Directors: Oversees governance and approves major projects.
  • Executive Management: Handles operations and implements board decisions.
  • Development Teams: Manage project planning and construction.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Ensures developments meet community needs and regulations.

This collaborative approach ensures well-planned, viable, and beneficial housing developments.

John and the team at UKMM have been fantastic. They've been understanding with changing deadlines and projects that have had to be delivered to short timelines. Our direct mail goes out in up to four different formats, adding complexity to a large mailout and the team have always handled this well, getting everything out to time and budget.

Having dealt with many agencies and list brokers I know how few and far between GOOD ones are. It has been a refreshing change dealing with John McCabe at UK Marketing Management Ltd. When given a brief from me he squirrels away and comes back with in depth information that will help me make the right decisions. We need a few more John McCabe’s in the World!
