Section 6(6) of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1992 makes provision to grant approved housing body (AHB) status to housing associations. AHBs consist mainly of voluntary or co-operative organisations limited by guarantee and registered under the Companies Acts; societies registered under the Industrial & Provident Societies Acts; and/or Trusts incorporated under the Charities Acts. At present, there are 536 bodies with AHB status. Details regarding the name s and address es of all bodies currently approved under section 6 (6) of the Act are available on my Department’s website at:
