The Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA)

The Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA), established in 1975, serves as the national representative body for housing organizations and co-operatives throughout Scotland. Its fundamental role is to lead, represent, and support its diverse member organizations, spanning from the Highlands and Islands to the Scottish Borders. SFHA acts as a unified voice for its members, advocating for a thriving social housing sector that delivers sustainable and affordable homes for communities across the nation.

SFHA achieves its aims by providing comprehensive support to its members through various teams, including Public Affairs, Business Development, and Corporate Services. This involves offering critical resources, policy updates, research, and services that are crucial for good governance, professional planning, and effective service delivery within the sector. The federation empowers its members, who collectively provide homes for nearly half a million people—approximately one in every eleven households in Scotland—ensuring these residences are warm, dry, secure, and affordable.

The organization plays a vital role in strengthening Scotland's social housing sector, fostering collaboration, and driving innovation. Its members are critical community anchors, not only building and maintaining high-quality, affordable rented homes but also contributing significantly to local communities and supporting their tenants comprehensively. SFHA’s commitment extends to addressing national challenges such as the housing emergency and advancing Scotland’s net-zero ambitions through initiatives like its Energy and Net Zero Conference, helping social landlords deliver future-proofed, climate-friendly housing solutions while securing affordable warmth for tenants. The federation connects members through digital forums and keeps them informed on the latest housing sector updates and policy developments.
