By law they must give 'reasonable preference' to specific groups, including people who are homeless, in overcrowded housing or who need to move for medical or welfare reasons. This is to ensure that the priority for social housing goes to those who need it most. These rules support larger families by giving priority to people who are in overcrowded housing.</p><p>Since 2010, we have delivered over 632,600 new affordable homes, including over 441,612 affordable homes for rent, of which over 162,800 homes for social rent.
