Housing Association Asset Disposal Shared Ownership Option

Good afternoon,
Looking for some advice.
I have been living in a discounted rend rental property for around two years.
We are saving to get an affordable property and when talking with our housing officer, she suggested that we could contact our housing association and make a formal request for them to explore asset disposal shared ownership options for our property for the future.
She said the request would need to be sent in an email to her manager. I have emailed two times so far and been very patient in between and the lady appears to read my messages, but never replies.
Does anyone know if they are obliged to explore this, or is it at their own digression?

Not legally obliged - so it would be down to the terms of your tenancy.
However you would be taking a social property 'off the market' which is not necessarily a good thing0
