Whether a Housing Association in England is subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 depends on whether it is wholly owned by public bodies. According to a Housing Corporation statement on accessing information:

"You can also write to housing associations. Most try to be as open as possible and will provide you with information when they are able. The Housing Corporation requires housing associations to be accessible, accountable and transparent to residents and other stakeholders. The National Housing Federation Code of Governance states that associations should operate in an open and accountable manner by generally making information about their work available to their residents, local communities and other stakeholders." ^[1]
