INVESTMENT GRADE CREDIT RATING REAFFIRMED
The Board of Directors of Social Housing REIT plc (LON: SOHO) (the "Board"), the real estate investment trust investing in specialised supported housing across the UK, is pleased to announce that Fitch Ratings Limited ("Fitch") has reaffirmed the Company's existing Investment Grade, long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of 'A-' and a senior secured rating of 'A' for the Group's existing loan notes. The outlook remains negative, reflecting the pending resolution of two tenant-related challenges, and may be revised to stable upon resolution.

Approved Providers consist of Housing Associations and Local Authorities, or other regulated organisations in receipt of direct payment from local government.
These operational residential properties deliver sustainable, long-term, growing income for shareholders, improved outcomes for residents and savings to the taxpayer.
