Book Synopsis HC 370 - Housing Associations and the Right to Buy by : Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Communities and Local Government Committee
Download or read book HC 370 - Housing Associations and the Right to Buy written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Communities and Local Government Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2016 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the 2015 General Election, the Government announced that it was seeking to extend the Right to Buy to tenants of housing associations. This policy, alongside others such as the 1 per cent reduction in social rents and a 'pay to stay' model which would charge differential rents according to tenant income, was likely to have a significant impact on housing associations. We therefore wanted to explore how their work and the services they provide might change, and what the impact might be for the wider social housing sector and the provision of affordable homes. Shortly after our investigations began, a deal to implement the extended Right to Buy on a voluntary basis was reached between the National Housing Federation and the Government. We recognise that the voluntary deal is a way of delivering a key policy from the Government's Manifesto whilst maintaining the independence of housing associations. However there remains much uncertainty in the wording of the agreement, for example regarding whether associations which voted against it are bound by its terms and the extent of the discretion to decline sales. The extended Right to Buy is designed to increase home ownership and increase housing supply. We support these aspirations and the principle of giving people the opportunity to buy their own home. Despite this, we feel that there are unresolved issues and remain concerned that the Government's policies could have a detrimental effect on the provision of accessible and affordable housing across all tenures, particularly affordable rented. We are also concerned that the extended Right to Buy could hinder the provision of specialist and supported housing schemes. Maintaining and protecting the provision of affordable housing in rural areas is also an issue that we believe needs to be addressed in order to protect our rural communities. The terms of the voluntary agreement allow for portable discounts to be offered in place of certain properties, but it remains unclear how this would operate.
Book Synopsis Housing Policy and Finance by : John Black
Download or read book Housing Policy and Finance written by John Black and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to housing policy and finance in Britain. It describes changes in the condition and tenure of housing in the post-war period, and contrasts the massive investment in house building and improvement with allegations that housing conditions are deteriorating. It describes the rise of the public housing sector and the slight decline in the face of the Thatcher government's policy on council house sales, which followed. The book thus provides a background for the development of housing policy over the next decade.
Book Synopsis Housing associations - rehousing women leaving domestic violence by : Davis, Cathy

This book was released on 2003-07-02 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

This study critically examines the role of housing associations in responding to the needs of women who have become homeless due to domestic violence. Housing associations - rehousing women leaving domestic violence will fill a gap in the literature for academic staff and students interested in housing studies, social policy, sociology, women's studies, political studies and organisation/management studies; provide valuable guidance to staff in housing associations and local authorities working in general needs housing, supported housing and homeless services; and provide policy makers with a useful introduction to key issues.

Book Synopsis A New Vision for Housing by : Christopher Holmes
Download or read book A New Vision for Housing written by Christopher Holmes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-03-20 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1945 the Labour Government set out to enable everyone to have a decent home, where people from all walks of life could live together. This dream was destroyed by a succession of avoidable mistakes and almost everyone now seems to believe that it is impossible to rediscover that vision. This book challenges that fatalism, tracing the policy mistakes that have given rise to this inequitable state from the folly of mass housing to the unfair tax privileges of many home owners. Holmes describes and advocates a new vision for the new millennium, finding solutions variously in development, planning, economic structures, social reform, and political reassessment to narrow the gap between rich and poor and enable people in all housing tenures to finally have a choice.

Book Synopsis Financing of new housing supply by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Communities and Local Government Committee
Download or read book Financing of new housing supply written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Communities and Local Government Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-05-07 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report concludes that the Government must employ a basket of measures, covering all tenures of housing, if sufficient finance is ever to be available to tackle the country's housing crisis. For decades, successive Governments have failed to deliver sufficient homes to meet demand. The country faces a significant housing shortfall, and the financial crisis has amplified the problem. 232,000 new households are forming each year in England, and yet in 2011 fewer than 110,000 new homes were completed. The Committee sets out four key areas for action, which, taken together, could go a long way to raising the finance needed to meet the housing shortfall: large-scale investment from institutions and pension funds; changes to the financing of housing associations, including a new role for the historic grant on their balance sheets; greater financial freedoms for local authorities; new and innovative models, including a massive expansion of self build housing.
Book Synopsis Cities and Affordable Housing by : Sasha Tsenkova
Download or read book Cities and Affordable Housing written by Sasha Tsenkova and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-06 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comparative perspective on housing and planning policies affecting the future of cities, focusing on people- and place-based outcomes using the nexus of planning, design and policy. A rich mosaic of case studies features good practices of city-led strategies for affordable housing provision, as well as individual projects capitalising on partnerships to build mixed-income housing and revitalise neighbourhoods. Twenty chapters provide unique perspectives on diversity of approaches in eight countries and 12 cities in Europe, Canada and the USA.

Cities and Affordable Housing is an essential interdisciplinary collection on planning and design that will be of great interest to scholars, urban professionals, architects, planners and policy-makers interested in housing, urban planning and city building.

Download or read book Building More Affordable Homes written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2005-12-20 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to tackle the problem of the shortage of affordable housing, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) has been set a Public Service Agreement (PSA) target to achieve a better balance between housing availability and demand in all English regions whilst ensuring sustainable development which recognises environmental concerns. This joint study by the Audit Commission and National Audit Office focuses on one strand of the PSA target, relating to improving the availability of affordable housing in high demand areas. The report also identifies ten areas where efficiencies are likely to be achieved in the social housing funding system, and it makes a number of recommendations for national, regional and local bodies to improve both efficiency and effectiveness of the delivery chain, highlighting the need to increase the speed of delivery and to reduce the unit cost of housing.
