History of Social Housing Scotland
From Lloyd George's promise of ‘homes fit for heroes’ to Margaret Thatcher's dream of a ‘property-owning democracy,’ housing has been at the centre of British politics for more than a century.
More recently Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) have played a larger role in providing and managing housing. Consequently council and RSL housing is collectively known as ‘social housing’.
