Britain in Transition Social Housing Delivery in Changing Times

摘要

The united kingdom has a long and productive history of creating affordable or, as it is known there, "social housing." Almost two-thirds of all rental hous ing is some form of social housing either publicly owned (council housing) or held by private, regulat ed social purpose entities (housing associations) akin to the United States' nonprofits. Various "right to buy" programs have enabled renters to become homeowners. In addition, a "housing benefit" rental allowance is available to all who are eligible.
