Case studies shed light on tenant experiences
The NSHS has provided new evidence about the factors most closely related to social housing tenant satisfaction. The case study populations below were constructed by bringing together a number of factors that have been shown to have a significant relationship to tenant satisfaction. Satisfaction with overall services is presented for each case study, using results from the 2018 NSHS. The factors on which the case studies are based cover structural problems in the home*, working facilities in the home**, time in social housing and selected demographics.
