bailleur social

English translation: social landlord

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:bailleur social
English translation:social landlord
Entered by: JCEC

French to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Human Resources / UK English
French term or phrase: bailleur social
Contexte : "De même, des réunions d’information avec les maires ou assistantes sociales sont organisées pour discuter des nouveautés en matière sociale (idem avec les associations caritatives et les principaux bailleurs sociaux)."

J'ai trouvé la traduction "social lessor" dans des texte français mais il me semble qu'il doit y avoir un terme plus approprié pour le marché britannique.

Explanation:
This might be a possibility. Don't think baiileur has anything to done with bailleur (de fonds) in this context.

neutral  Moorhead-Mor (X): I believe that bailleur sociaux refers to the people or organization running and renting out the council estates, not the estates themselves
