- jeffbee 3y ago"""Within the rental tenure, approximately half rent from a private landlord (private rent) and half from a local housing authority or association (social rent). Other tenure types include shared ownership and rent-free accommodation.""" It references "Gov.uk. Trends in tenure. 2022"
- digging 3y agoRenting from a private owner vs renting from a municipal/state government. In the US, the latter is virtually nonexistent.
- diogenes4 3y ago> In the US, the latter is virtually nonexistent. I generally agree with this, but it's worth noting the places that do have public housing have notably lower homeless rates when compared against drug use rates. Furthermore, most housing assistance is done through section 8 vouchers, which you would presumably control for if you repeated this experiment in the US.
- candiddevmike 3y agoSection 8 vouchers would typically mean privately rented, right?
- hollerith 3y agoYes, with US Federal Government subsidizing the rent. Many of these private landlords are non-profit orgs.
- greyKnight 3y ago> In the US, the latter is virtually nonexistent. The state of Massachusetts has subsidized housing for the elderly. And they are closely monitored by social workers. My uncle lives in one of these apartments, and whenever he goes out of town, he has to notify the social services office. Otherwise, they will open the apartment to see if everything is okay with him. If he's gone for more than three months, he loses the right to use the apartment. Edit: minor corrections.
