New challenges for social landlords
De Castella, T.
New challenges for social landlords - 2001 - Regeneration and Renewal 14 September 2001, 17-18(2) .
The 2000 housing green paper set a target of transferring 200,000 homes a year from local authority control to the independent sector. Currently, there are still nearly 3m council houses, but government hopes that in ten years time 80% of all social housing will be provided by housing associations. According to government's National Strategy for Neighbourhood Renewal, housing associations will also be expected to take on other responsibilities - "to make a real contribution to tackling deprivation, by branching out into non-housing functions". Questions whether they are ready for this challenge, and looks at how five housing associations are taking steps to broaden their role.
