Comment on this
I am not aware of any social housing units funded under the Capital Loan and Subsidy Scheme (CLSS), which have been sold by Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs).
AHBs in general operate as providers of social housing, and their approach is set out in their own internal rules (including Memorandum and Articles of Association). Accordingly, I do not expect that the disposal of their social housing stock would ordinarily arise.
