The Social Housing Law Association ('SHLA') is an organisation of social housing professionals and their lawyers. Its members work or regularly act for social landlords (local authorities and registered social landlords etc.).

SHLA aims to:
1. Further the interests of social landlords.

2. Promote and develop better solutions to the legal problems faced by social landlords.

3. Provide a forum where its members can exchange and discuss ideas and information.

4. Assist in the development and training of its members.

Membership of SHLA is subject to approval by the SHLA committee. Applicants will be admitted as members if the committee is satisfied that the applicant works or regularly acts for social landlords and supports the aims of SHLA.
