- Abstract
- In this Final Report, we examine in detail some options to improve access to social housing within three separate but interrelated policy paradigms. Firstly, we consider reforms within a welfare service delivery paradigm which inter alia aim at achieving greater integration of services. In particular, we examine ‘common housing registers’ which try to achieve more coordination and better integration in access to social housing. Secondly, we investigate options within a paradigm of consumer choice which aim at enabling households to have more choice and control of decisions about their housing, most notably ‘choice-based lettings’. Thirdly, we examine options within a paradigm of sustainable communities, aimed at improving place management, in particular, local allocations policies.
