Industry Bodies
There are four industry bodies representing housing associations working in the UK, each covering a respective home nation. They are:
- England – National Housing Federation (NHF)
- Scotland – Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA)
- Wales – Community Housing Cymru
- Northern Ireland – Northern Ireland Federation of Housing Associations (NIFHA)
The NHF (formerly the National Federation of Housing Associations) claimed that at the start of 2003 they had around 1400 non-profit housing organisations in their membership, owning or managing approximately 1.8 million homes across England.
In the 2000s, some larger associations formed regional clubs for purposes including lobbying government bodies. The G15 group of London’s largest associations was followed by East Seven in East Anglia.
