social housing

social housing
   accommodation built for poor people
   So named because the provision of such premises for sale and rent, often with the aid of subsidy, is looked upon as helping society:
    The associations took over from the councils as the main providers of social housing in 1988. (Daily Telegraph, 23 October 1995)
   Social Science or Social Studies are the names given to the study of society and human behaviour, although, as Bullock and Stallybrass (1977) observe, 'Social Studies... frequently fail to exercise scientific stringency'.
   A social worker is primarily concerned with the poor, sick, or criminal members of society, which is not to suggest that other workers are anti-social.
