Scope
This project's primary purpose is to improve articles related to social housing in the United Kingdom. There are a number of articles related to this area, such as Public housing in the United Kingdom and Category:Housing estates in London. The issue of housing standards in the UK has been a subject of public debate for decades, and recent events have brought the problems with government policy towards it into sharp focus. It would therefore be useful to increase the quality of Wikipedia articles related to the area in order to assist the quality of available information.

Social Housing is defined by the charity Shelter as housing ' let at low rents on a secure basis to those who are most in need or struggling with their housing costs '. This project will cover the history and current status of public housing built by the government or privately constructed social housing.

A secondary purpose will be to improve articles relating to legislation that affects the design and provision of housing within the United Kingdom.

Articles needing assessment are listed under Category:Unassessed Social Housing in the United Kingdom articles

1. The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary.
 * B class criteria


 * It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. The use of citation templates such as is not required, but the use of tags is encouraged.

2. The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies.


 * It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for an A-Class article, although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing.

3. The article has a defined structure.
 * Content should be organized into groups of related material, including a lead section and all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind.

4. The article is reasonably well-written.


 * The prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but it certainly need not be "brilliant". The Manual of Style need not be followed rigorously.

5. The article contains supporting materials where appropriate.


 * Illustrations are encouraged, though not required. Diagrams and an infobox etc. should be included where they are relevant and useful to the content.

6. The article presents its content in an appropriately accessible way.
 * It is written with as broad an audience in mind as possible. Although Wikipedia is more than just a general encyclopedia, the article should not assume unnecessary technical background and technical terms should be explained or avoided where possible.

The article need to meet all six criteria to be classed as B Class. If it fails one or more, but meets 3, 4, and 5 then it can be classed as C Class. If one or more of 3, 4 and 5 are not met, then it is Start class.
