The House of Commons Library has published a briefing
paper considering how affordable housing is defined in England. It examines the supply of affordable housing
and the role of Housing Benefit in allowing families to access and keep
affordable housing. The paper states: “Home ownership has been difficult to
access in recent years, particularly for first-time buyers, while access to
social housing is constrained by a lack of supply. The private rented sector
has been the beneficiary and now houses more households than the social rented
sector. Private sector rent levels in high pressure areas have increased in
response to demand.” Download the paper from the Library.
