Council Housing

Council housing refers to residential properties owned and managed by local government authorities to provide affordable homes for residents who may struggle to afford private rent or buy. These homes serve as social or public housing, ensuring access to safe, stable, and decent living conditions. Funding for council housing often comes from taxpayers, and tenants typically pay rent below market rates. The goal is to support community stability and reduce homelessness, making affordable housing available to those in need while maintaining standards and affordability through regulated management.
