Abstract

The diversity of the voluntary housing movement can in part be attributed to its historical development. Size, structure, functions and aims, however, in addition to legal status, all add to this diversity. This chapter explores several aspects of the movement commencing with the legal definition of what constitutes a housing association. It then examines the process of registration with the Housing Corporation and outlines the structures that registered housing associations may adopt. The small association, cooperative housing associations and self-build societies are then examined, leading to a general classification of associations.
