National Register of Social Housing (NROSH)

Dataspring has been providing assistance to the Housing Corporation evaluating the implications for data collection via the National Register of Social Housing (NRSOH).Currently data collected for regulatory purposes by the Housing Corporation is collected via their annual Regulatory and Statistical Return (RSR), which all HAs are required to complete on a stock wide basis. The ODPM plans to introduce NROSH as a means of data collection on an individual property basis from both HAs and LAs in the near future. Dataspring have been commissioned to evaluate if NROSH alone will suffice as a means of data collection for the Housing Corporation’s regulatory purposes.

NROSH: Lessons Learned Phase II

This research focuses on HAs that have submitted data once or sporadically since November 2005. The aim is to find out the reasons HAs do not submit NROSH data on a regular basis and what can be done to ease the process. This follows Phase I of the research which focused on HAs that submit data on a regular basis.
