🏠 What’s the Difference?

Both Council Housing and Housing Association homes are types of social housing — homes for people who need help with housing costs.

But there are some key differences:

🏛️ Council Housing

• Owned by the Council
• Usually cheaper — about 50% less than private rent

🏢 Housing Association Homes

• Owned by a not-for-profit organisation
• Rent is a bit higher — about 20% less than private rent
• Housing Associations have more homes across the country
