Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the decline in social housing lettings to young people aged 16 to 25 over the last decade; and in any such assessment, what conclusions they have drawn as to the explanation for this.

The Department does not hold this information in the format requested.

Local authorities are responsible for allocating social housing through schemes they set locally and therefore they ensure that the priority for social housing goes to those who need it most.
