Social Housing and Tenant Management

In England, social housing accounts for 17% of all households. One of the issues in the social housing sector is the lack of adequate and affordable housing. As a result, there has been a rise in the number of requests for social housing.

Social housing refers to housing that is provided at affordable rates and on a secure basis to those on low incomes or with special needs. The state, in the form of councils or non-profit organisations such as housing associations, typically holds social housing properties.

The principle behind social housing is that where the private sector is unable to provide affordable housing for all those in need, the state must step in to ensure that those on low incomes are taken care of. The provision of social housing is viewed as a critical remedy to housing inequality because rent increases are controlled, ensuring that it remains accessible to those in greatest need.

Housing Officers are in charge of the day-to-day upkeep and management of rented properties owned by local governments or housing organisations. In this position, you will have daily contact with clients, assisting them in resolving any housing issues they may have.

Because people will come to you with problems that could have a major impact on their lives, this job is all about being sympathetic to their predicament while providing critical advice to assist them in finding a solution to their housing dilemma.
