Sets out proposals for reform of council housing finance, and explains how councils could build 80 000-90 000 new homes in the next five years and provide an investment of £35bn into the English economy. This would require three changes to the council housing finance system: abolition of the Housing Revenue Account subsidy system; financial independence for council landlords; and cancellation of the historic housing debt.
