NFA Core Values and Services
The National Federation of ALMOs Ltd (NFA) is the trade body which represents all arms-length management organisations (ALMOs) across England.
The NFA represents all 29 ALMOs which manage around 395,800 council homes.
The NFA was established in 2003 to represent the interests of ALMOs at the national level, lobbying and negotiating with central government on their behalf. ALMOs themselves were first established as not-for-profit companies in 2002 to manage council housing on behalf of their local authority and to help deliver the Government’s Decent Homes Programme, aimed at improving housing conditions in council housing.
The NFA Core Values are:
The NFA Services are:
The NFA is governed by a Board of nine ALMOs elected by members across the four regions (Northern, Midlands, South West, London & Southern). They are supported by an executive steering group (ESG) of chief officers elected from each of the four chief officer regional groups.
A managing agent is employed to manage the NFA contract, providing employment and other administrative services. In 2017, HouseMark took over the contract to become the NFA Managing Agent. Although the NFA does not employ staff directly or maintain assets, it is a limited company with its own accounts and auditors independent of the managing agent.
