Housing Associations are independent, non-profit making organisations that build new homes or improve existing ones to rent them out to people in need of affordable housing.

Housing Associations are usually funded by central government and work closely with local councils to help house people who are on the housing register list as well as people who apply to them directly.

Housing Associations provide all types and sizes of accommodation, including bedsits, flats, bungalows, maisonettes and houses in most parts of the city.

Most Housing Associations keep a register of people who want their accommodation and aim to help people with the greatest housing need.

You can make an application directly to a Housing Association if you wish.
