Stop Social Housing Stigma

A tenant-led campaign

presenting a positive image of social housing and its tenants

challenging the stigma attached to social housing

Why are we campaigning?

4 million households across the UK live in social housing, and we believe that it’s a huge asset. It offers good and secure rental services and contributes significantly to society.

Despite stigma being the majority issue coming out of the Housing Minister’s post Grenfell Tower consultation and a major focus in the Social Housing Green Paper, the White Paper is quite silent on this issue.

Everyone will benefit from more popular neighbourhoods, free of stigma. We want to challenge the negative perception that people have about social housing tenants.
