Please Note: From 1 December 2008 the Housing Corporation ceased to exist. It has been replaced by two new organisations – the Tenant Services Authority (TSA) and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) - see below:
The Tenant Services Authority (TSA) is the new regulator for affordable housing, taking over the regulatory powers of the Housing Corporation. Their goal, quite simply, is to raise the standard of services for tenants.
The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) is the new national agency leading the delivery of homes and regeneration in England. It inherited the investment functions of the Housing Corporation as well as the responsibilities, skills, expertise and resources of English Partnerships and a number of delivery activities of Communities and Local Government (CLG).
