What sort of housing do they provide? 

Housing Associations (or registered social landlords) meet a variety of different needs. They build and manage:

• Houses and flats for families, single people and couples.
• Warden assisted housing for older people and
  shared homes, hostels and flats for people with extra needs such as those with a physical disability or a mental health problem

Most of the Housing Associations with properties in this area will advertise their available homes via the Home-Link scheme (see the External Links box on the right of this page for details of the scheme).  So by registering on the Home-Link scheme you will be able to bid for properties owned by those Associations.  Those Associations that do advertise via this scheme include: Luminus; Accent Nene; Bedfordshire Pilgrims; Cambridge Housing Society; Axiom; Granta; Guiness Trust; Minster and Muir. 

Some of the Associations do not advertise through this scheme and so it is worth contacting them to see if you need to apply to them direct.  A list of all the Associations with properties in the Huntingdonshire District is available in the Linked Documents box on the right of this page.
