The Future Roles of Social Housing in England
Professor John Hills published his report on what role social housing can play in twenty first century housing policy on 20 February 2007. In his report he suggested that more urgent debate was required to find the most effective ways in which policy could better achieve the underlying objectives of social housing and of housing policy more generally.
To support the debate the Chartered Institute of Housing has created NEW DISCUSSION FORUMS to help you continue to shape policy in this area. Professor Hills poses four new questions in particular - what can be done:
-
To increase the attention given to the existing stock and tenant population?
-
To support more of an income mix within existing communities?
-
To support the livelihoods of tenants and others in housing need?
-
To offer a "more varied menu" for both prospective and existing tenants?
