Legal name change for RWP

Reside Housing Association joined Progress Housing Group in 2021.

As one organisation, we decided to call ourselves RWP. This meant that we could provide the same services to all our tenants but have just one name.

We would like to ask you what you think about changes that would improve how we work as one organisation.

Legal name of your landlord

Although we changed our name to RWP, Reside Housing Association or Progress Housing Association is still the legal name of your landlord. 

This means that although you will know us as RWP, the tenancy agreement you have with us is either signed with Progress Housing Association Ltd or Reside Housing Association Ltd. Which one it is depends on which of our companies owns or manages your home.

Having two different companies can cause some confusion, not only for our tenants, but also partners we work with, such as local authorities and Housing Benefit departments.

Moving forward

In April 2026, we would like to move all of Reside Housing Association’s property and contracts to Progress Housing Association Ltd. This means that from that date Progress Housing Association will become the legal landlord for all Reside Housing Association tenants.

If you live in a property owned or managed by Progress Housing Association, there is no impact at all on you.

If you live in a property owned or managed by Reside Housing Association Ltd, it means that from April 2026, your property will transfer to Progress Housing Association Ltd. While your home, services, and support provider will remain the same, the landlord listed on tenancy agreements will change from Reside Housing Association to Progress Housing Association. However, we will still be known as RWP.

There will be very little change if the transfer goes ahead. 

I am a Reside Housing Association tenant, what should I do?

There is no need to do anything. You can carry on living in your home exactly as you do now. Importantly, there will be  no change to your homes or services. You will still contact RWP in the same way as you do now, and all staff or visitors will still carry identification.

The only thing that will change from April 2026, is that your landlord will change to Progress Housing Association Ltd .

However, we will still be known as RWP.

What happens next?

Next month, we will write to our tenants to ask them what they think about this proposed change. We will give our tenants the chance to ask any questions and we will provide more information.
