A New Era for Council Housing?
Does the end of the HRA mean a return to the heyday of local authority house building?
Localis has published a new Policy Platform entitled ‘A New Era for Council Housing?: Does the end of the HRA mean a return to the heyday of local authority house building?’
Impending reforms to the Housing Revenue Account are set to give local authorities self-financing control over their housing stock, albeit at the cost of taking on additional debt. This Policy Platform outlines how the upcoming changes may help councils drive increased levels of house building, where they may press for more powers, and the role that registered providers may play in the new system.
