What is social housing?
Social housing is a term that is regularly used to mean all the different types of organisations that provide housing that is affordable, and who offer a number of types of housing such as rented, shared ownership,
sheltered and supported housing to name just a few. The organisations that provide social housing can be housing associations, registered social landlords (RSLs), housing trusts, and charities, as well as the local council.
