Shelter denies social housing:
"By social housing we mean social rent homes. These homes have rents linked to local incomes and provide a truly affordable, secure housing option for people across the country. We don’t mean affordable rent, shared ownership, or any other so-called ‘affordable’ tenure.
"Social rent homes have rents set by a formula tied to local incomes. Historically, social rents have been around 50% of the market rate. This rent formula is controlled by central government and increases are limited by government policy.
Tenancies are generally more secure than those in the private rented sector, meaning a social rent home is a permanent home.
It enables people to put down roots and thrive within a community.
