Private Registered Provider
The Charter for Social Housing Residents, Social Housing White Paper, published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) in November 2020, defines a Private Registered Provider as: ‘a registered provider of social housing that is not a local authority. Most are housing associations.’
Housing statistics and English Housing Survey, glossary, published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities in 2019, defines private registered providers (PRPs) as: ‘…independent societies, bodies of trustees or companies in England established for the purpose of providing low-cost social housing for people in housing need on a non-profit-making basis. Any trading surplus is used to maintain existing homes and to help finance new ones. They are major providers of new social homes for rent, while many also run shared ownership schemes to help people who cannot afford to buy their own homes outright. In England, housing associations are funded and regulated by Homes England. The Regulator of Social Housing maintains a list of social housing providers registered with it including the latest registrations and deregistrations. Private registered providers were previously termed Registered Social Landlords or housing associations. The term excludes local authorities, who also provide social housing, and local authority registered providers.’
