The Council can nominate people for most (but not all) housing association  rented and shared ownership homes.

What are housing associations?

Housing associations are non-profit making organisations that build and manage homes for rent and for sale. The homes are for people in housing need who cannot afford to rent privately or buy their own home.

Where can I get a list of housing associations?

Follow the link to the Housing Corporation website, which will give you details of housing associations with stock in South Oxfordshire.

Who controls housing associations?

Most housing associations receive government funding and are registered with a government body called the Housing Corporation. The Housing Corporation makes sure the housing associations manage their properties and finances well.

Getting a housing association place

Most housing associations work closely with the Council and many of their homes are given to people put forward by the Council from their housing register.
