Welcome to the Regional Housing Associations website. Here you can keep up to date on all the latest changes to your regional housing strategy. The need for affordable housing viability is clear; the entire housing market has plummeted since the worldwide recession began. New development rates have continuously gone down and have stayed that way for over two years and this has resulted in the worldwide need for affordable housing. Because those families who once purchased new homes within new developments no longer have the means for affording them as they once did, they are looking for cheaper, more affordable housing instead.
Local housing associations have a responsibility to assess the needs of their local population and determine if affordable housing is viable based on those needs. If it is, then a specific set of standards must be upheld when planning for new developments. This local population has a general demographic including the loss of employment, which in turn necessitates the need for families to obtain cheaper housing.
However, because of the scarcity of affordable housing in local areas, people are often compelled to move away. With affordable housing viability assessments, which will lead to the ability to develop and build affordable housing developments, this creates the distinct possibility for families to stay in their local area and contribute to the local economy while continuing to have the ability to pay for the housing.
