All About Housing Associations

Summary

Housing Associations or Registered Social Landlords are non-profit making organisations, who exist to provide affordable housing to those who need it.  They work in partnership with local Councils to identify what types of housing are needed in a particular area, and then develop that housing, often with government funding.

Housing Associations develop a wide range of accommodation, with some specialising in supported housing for those with special housing requirements, whilst others concentrate on housing for families.   We have 13 partner housing associations working in the Babergh area, and 5 of these actively develop affordable housing within the district. These developing partners are:-

  • Flagship Housing Group
  • Hastoe Housing Association
  • Orbit Housing Association
  • Orwell Housing Association
  • Suffolk Housing Society



 

How do I apply for housing?

See our Housing Register page to download the form.

What is the Common Housing Register?

The Common Housing Register  is a partnership between Babergh District Council and Housing Associations providing homes in the district.  

It is designed to make it easy for people to register for housing and be considered for all Housing Association and Council accommodation available within the district.

Anyone may apply to go on the Common Housing Register, but only those who are assessed as being in housing need will be considered for the allocation of a Council or Housing Association property.
