RSH publishes social housing stats
The Regulator of Social Housing has published statistics about the social housing sector, which include stock ownership and rents as of 31 March 2024.
The data shows that the sector provides around 4.5 million homes across England, with a net increase of nearly 43,000 social homes since 2023.
There are approximately 24,800 more Affordable Rent homes and 17,300 more low cost home ownership homes. There was also an increase of 700 social rent homes.
The figures reveal that 82 per cent of social homes in England are general needs (social rent and Affordable Rent), while supported housing makes up 11 per cent and Low Cost Home Ownership 6 per cent.
The average increase in general needs (social rent) average weekly net rents was 7.2 per cent between 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2024.
Will Perry, Director of Strategy at RSH, said: "It is reassuring to see the sector continuing to build and acquire much-needed new social homes across the country, despite a challenging economic environment.
"This data provides a rich source of insight into the sector as a whole, helping us understand the challenges facing both landlords and tenants.
"Landlords should ensure they hold accurate, up-to-date data to inform strategic decisions, especially around rents and the condition of homes."
