The London Housing Unit argues a case for an 'affordability cap' to protect work incentives, and limit the number of employed council tenants who rely on housing benefit. Article outlines the development of the London Housing Unit model, designed as a step towards establishing an affordability cap, and discusses the criteria necessary for a cap to reflect tenants' economic circumstances and allow differentials between regions and property types.
