Who We Regulate

AHBs (also called housing associations or voluntary housing associations) are independent, not-for-profit organisations whose purpose includes the provision and management of housing, for households in housing need. AHBs play a central role in housing delivery as outlined in the Government’s ‘Housing for All’ plan.

The sector includes large AHBs owning and managing significant housing stock, care and support organisations, whose primary focus is not housing, alongside a high volume of small and micro AHBs managing a small number of dwellings. It is within this context that AHBRA is implementing a transparent and risk-based regulatory framework.
