Social Rented Housing (SRH) is a type of housing provided by local authorities and housing associations in the UK. It is the most affordable form of housing for people on low-incomes and is intended to provide secure and affordable accommodation for those who cannot access the private housing market. SRH is provided on either a secure tenancy or an assured tenancy basis and generally consists of flats and houses of varying sizes. SRH is often provided in locations which may be close to amenities and transport links, although availability can vary significantly between local authorities. The purpose of SRH is to help ensure that those on low-incomes have access to secure, safe and affordable housing and to provide an alternative to the often expensive private rental market.
