scarcity definition

scarcity of social housing means that ‘some form of rationing is actually going to be inevitable’ for those seeking access (S1). This meant that housing providers sought to manage expectations: ‘one of the main tasks for my team really is…to give the honest advice…that there isn’t the supply’ (LA3r2). Over the longer term, social housing was seen as transitioning from a safety net to being ‘restrictive in terms of who can access it’ (HA5), because there was not enough housing.
