Logement social

Un logement social est un logement destiné, à la suite d'une initiative publique ou privée, à des personnes qui ont des difficultés à se loger le plus souvent pour des raisons financières. L'expression sert aussi à désigner le secteur économique constitué par ce marché immobilier et les politiques d'économie sociale qui président à son administration. En Europe, le logement passe par diverses traditions et des histoires nationales qui toutes visent à l’encadrement des loyers et à plus ou moins d'extension du logement social.

Affordable housing

Affordable housing is housing which is deemed affordable to those with a household income at or below the median as rated by the national government or a local government by a recognized housing affordability index. Most of the literature on affordable housing refers to mortgages and a number of forms that exist along a continuum – from emergency homeless shelters, to transitional housing, to non-market rental (also known as social or subsidized housing), to formal and informal rental, indigenous housing, and ending with affordable home ownership.

Housing association

In Ireland and the United Kingdom, housing associations are private, non-profit making organisations that provide low-cost "social housing" for people in need of a home. Any budget surplus is used to maintain existing housing and to help finance new homes and it cannot be used for personal benefit of directors or shareholders. Although independent, they are regulated by the state and commonly receive public funding. They are now the United Kingdom's major providers of new housing for rent, while many also run shared ownership schemes to help those who cannot afford to buy a home outright.
