The social housing my partner has in Cardiff costs approx £400 a month, and that's after healthy rent increases in the past few years. I believe it was a little over £300 a month when she moved in. The last time I checked which was around 6 months ago, the rent for a similar property in her area with a private landlord was between £900 and £1100 a month.

She's not grumbling much about rent increases because she knows she's been lucky to have had a massive subsidy for the 9 years that she has lived there.
