I thought lot of councils used housing associations or at arms length arrangements hence why FOI isn't the best option as it's a binary response clearly :
:
Local authorities are public authorities: they are required to produce a race equality scheme by law. In England, local authorities do not necessarily manage their housing themselves - many have separate companies (called arms length management organisations, or ALMOs) which do so. However, their practices should be the same as if they were the local authority itself.
Housing associations are independent organisations, regulated and often funded by the government, providing housing for people in need and are expected to have equality schemes in place.
