Abstract
In Britain the term ‘social housing’ or ‘social rent housing’ is used to describe two distinct but overlapping sectors, local authorities and housing associations. Local authorities can be regarded as public housing companies. Housing associations are voluntary not-for-profit organisations, but as Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) have public objectives and operate under close government regulation.
