Housing associations in 2025: a strategic review

22 January 2025

We have carried out a comprehensive strategic review of our sector to give us a renewed understanding of social housing’s challenges, strengths and vulnerabilities.

This has involved extensive engagement with a wide range of people, including around 500 members, stakeholders, partners and residents.

The information gathered has helped us assess our sector’s key issues and develop three emerging priorities, which will form part of the NHF’s 2025-2030 business strategy due to be published in April this year.

Thank you to everyone who has taken part in this very important exercise. We hope you find our strategic review report an interesting and informative read.
