The number of new social housing lettings to households with UK, EU and non-EU national lead tenants in each year between 2020/21 and 2024/25 can be found in the ‘Social Housing Lettings’ statistics tables 3e and 3ei on gov.uk here.

Available social housing lettings data is not broken down by the nationality of the lead tenant and household size.
