Social Housing in England, April to September 2020' Statistical Release
09/04/2021We are pleased to inform you that we have now published the 'Social Housing Lettings in England, April to September 2020’ statistical release, also known as the CORE Lettings interim report. This is a one-off publication of half-year data to provide an initial insight into the impact of COVID-19 on new social housing lettings, including information about the tenants, their reason for moving, their tenancies, why properties were vacant and for how long.
We have published the related stats release and summary tables at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/social-housing-lettings-in-england-april-to-september-2020. In Autumn 2021, we will be publishing the full year data as part of the usual annual release. We hope that this interim publication will serve as a pilot for a new series of quarterly CORE publications, bringing you more timely information for benchmarking against other organisations.
The MHCLG CORE Team wishes to warmly thank providers for all of their input. The publication is the culmination of much work from you and your colleagues, is very much appreciated and, indeed, cannot be done without this input. Your data and efforts enable us to produce a robust evidence base for developing and monitoring social housing policy, academics and charities to undertake research, the public to be informed and much more.
