Resident engagement and Social Housing Regulation Act

The Social Housing Regulation Act is one of the biggest regulatory shifts in the social housing sector, introducing reforms to ensure all residents of social housing are heard and have access to safe homes.

Housing associations will need to meet these more rigorous performance requirements and make sure they have effective complaint handling processes to meet the more proactive regulatory approach.

At the NHF, we are committed to supporting our members to navigate these changes through comprehensive guidance, resources and advocacy. That’s why we’ve created this section on our website, to bring together our work ensure regulations work for our members and residents of social housing.

Here, you'll find everything you need to help you enhance your engagement with residents and comply with the new regulatory framework.
