housing associations
Nonprofit rental providers
Housing associations are nonprofit organizations that provide affordable rental housing, typically for low-income tenants, the elderly, or people with disabilities.
Common in the UK, they operate as an alternative to both private landlords and government-owned public housing.
Housing associations build, maintain, and manage properties, often receiving government funding or tax benefits in exchange for keeping rents below market rates.
