Riverside
Hackney Council is insourcing Floating Support services previously provided by Riverside, while Camden and Tower Hamlets councils review housing association performance.
Hackney Council's Cabinet Procurement and Insourcing Committee approved a decision in September 2026 to bring debt and employment support services in-house from February 2027. These services were previously part of the Floating Support service, for which Riverside held a contract. The move aims to streamline services and will cost £0.52 million per annum.
In January 2026, Camden Council's Housing Scrutiny Committee reviewed the annual performance of housing associations, including Riverside, which manages tenancies and develops homes in the borough. Tower Hamlets' Housing & Regeneration Scrutiny Sub Committee also reviewed the performance of social housing landlords, including Riverside, in January 2026.
Riverside is a housing association and charitable organisation providing affordable housing and support services across England. It operates as a registered social landlord in Tower Hamlets and manages tenancies and properties in Camden. The company previously held a contract with Hackney Council for Floating Support services.
