Decline In Living Standards For Social Housing Tenants

A third of social housing tenants have seen their standard of living decline in recent years as above-inflation increases have hit food, fuel and transport, a report by the Human City Institute (HCI) has concluded. The thinktank surveyed 6,500 social housing tenants across England and nearly a third (31%) said their standard of living had worsened in the past two years. Meanwhile 49% said there had been no change and 20% reported improvement. Download the report from the HCI website.
