About us
The National Housing Federation is the voice of affordable housing in England. We believe that everyone should have the home they need at a price they can afford.
That’s why we represent the work of housing associations and campaign for better housing. Our members provide two and a half million homes for more than five million people. And each year they invest in a diverse range of neighbourhood projects that help create strong, vibrant communities.
