Housing associations

Also in this section

A housing association is a non profit-making voluntary organisation, formed to provide affordable housing - surplus profit is ploughed back into the organisation to maintain existing homes and to help finance new ones.

Some housing associations specialise in providing housing for those who need special support, such as people with mental illness or drug problems. Most housing associations are registered with and monitored by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), and these are also referred to as Registered Social Landlords (or RSLs), and more recently, Registered Providers (or RPs).

North Norfolk District Council no longer owns any 'council housing', having transferred its housing stock to Victory Housing Trust in February 2006: all of the affordable housing within the district is managed by housing associations and specialist housing providers. There are currently 14 housing associations and trusts operating in the district, managing over 6000 properties between them. The main Registered Providers with stock in North Norfolk are listed below.
