The Smith Institute has been at the forefront of the policy debate on the future of affordable housing. This report maintains that momentum and provides a timely and important perspective on the challenges facing the sector. In advance of the spending review and against the backdrop of the government’s housing and welfare reform agenda, the report looks at what lies ahead for social housing landlords. It examines the costs and consequences of cuts, considers new funding options, and calls for a pragmatic policy response based on market realities rather than wishful thinking. The report is based on research into the changed market for affordable housing, one-to-one conversations with leading experts and practitioners, and two high-level round table events at the Smith Institute involving politicians, commentators, funders, developers and representatives from across the housing sector.
