Putting it all into context - 1990 - Housing 26(1) February 1990, 33-35(3) .

Examines the new approach to housing finance for local authority housing stock. The new regime begins in April 1990 when authorities will no longer be able to transfer surpluses from the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) to other areas. The HRA subsidy will reduce local autonomy, by replacing the rent rebate subsidy , Housing Act subsidy and rate fund contributions . The implications of this for local authority finance are discussed.
