Low-Cost Housing(LCH)

Low-Cost Housing (LCH) is a form of housing provision in the UK that aims to provide affordable and secure accommodation to those on a low income. The purpose of LCH is to increase access to housing for those on lower incomes, by providing more options and reducing the burden of rent. The scope of LCH covers a variety of housing types, including social housing, supported housing, and other forms of affordable housing. As such, LCH provides a range of housing solutions that are tailored to the needs of those on a low income, taking into account factors such as geography, income, and household size. It can also provide a range of support services, such as advice and guidance, to help those on a low income access and sustain the housing they need.
