Housing Associations

 

What is a Housing Association?

Housing Associations provide housing for all sizes of households. Some Housing Associations provide a whole range of properties whilst others specialise in certain types of accommodation, eg housing for the elderly.

What is a RSL?

Registered Social Landlord (RSL) is the technical name for a social landlord such as a Housing Association or Housing Trust. RSLs are registered with the Housing Corporation: most are housing associations, but there are also trusts, co-operatives and companies. RSLs are run as businesses but they do not trade for profit. Any surplus is ploughed back into the organisation to maintain existing homes and to help finance new ones.

How to become a RSL tenant or get help with home ownership

Generally, people housed by RSLs are those defined as being in 'housing need' but eligibility criteria differ. Some RSLs, for instance, specialise in providing housing for those who need special support such as people with mental illness or drug problems. All housing associations must have written policies on the type of housing services they provide, who can apply for housing and how applications will be considered. You can ask to see these policies.
