About the Housing Studies Association

The 1980s and 1990s saw significant growth in housing education; in academic research into housing; and in research conducted within a range of statutory, voluntary and private sectors.

Following a successful housing research seminar programme, the Housing Studies Association was established in 1991 to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information among all those with interests in housing research and education.The Association has become established as the leading independent forum for the promotion of housing studies, embracing the interests of researchers and students across a broad range of organisations and academic disciplines.

The HSA is a UK wide organisation with active membership throughout the country and well established international links.
