How is it different from the way my hostel or supported housing project is owned and run?
Your hostel or supported housing project is likely to be owned by a housing association or voluntary body. As your landlord, the hostel has to manage your tenancy in a business like manner, but they are still a social landlord and do not rent you your accommodation simply to make money from it. Supported Accommodation is usually a temporary stay for example 18 months and is for people who need support. Private rented housing is for people who are able to live independently and who no longer require support.
