Government Publishes Social Housing Green Paper

14/08/2018

A New Deal for Social Housing proposes a rebalancing of the relationship between residents and landlords. Around 3.9 million households, approximately nine million people, live in the social rented sector in England, just under a fifth of all households. Social housing is housing to rent below market level rents or to buy through schemes such as shared ownership. It is made available to help those whose needs are not served by the market.
