Registered housing associations are non-profit making friendly societies.

Some housing associations specialise in providing homes for particular groups such as single or elderly people.
Others provide more general accommodation.

Each will have its own policy about who it will give houses to. Applications can be made direct to the housing association.

There are around 200 housing associations and housing co-operatives in Scotland registered with Communities Scotland, with local and national organisations providing a range of accommodation in Council areas.

The names and addresses of housing associations and the client groups they cater for are available from both Communities Scotland and the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations on request.
