Housing Associations and Housing Policy is an important and timely contribution to the housing studies literature, providing the first detailed account of the growth of voluntary housing in Britain from its earliest origins through the present day. Drawing on extensive original research, Peter Malpass fills in much previously missing history, questioning, exploring and making explicit the extent of links between modern housing associations and medieval almshouses, and the Victorian model dwellings organizations. The book reveals the rich diversity of voluntary housing in the past, but exposes its critical weakness--the failure to raise sufficient capital to make a measurable contribution to tackling housing shortage. In the period since 1988, housing associations have changed more than at any time in the past and Peter Malpass' book will be essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand these changes in their historical perspective.

This is a new edition of a book first published in 1982, which was extended and revised in 1987. In the third edition chapters 1,5,7,10,11 and 12 have been completely rewritten, and chapter 6 has been substantially amended. Other chapters remain essentially unaltered. The framework and approach of the book remains largely as in earlier editions, taking into account recent changes in policy and practice. The aim of this book is to provide a distinctive analysis of British housing policy and practice in which an examination of national policy is linked to studies at the local level, and to contemporary academic debates about housing and the state in modern capitalist society. The approach adopted here is based on the fact that housing policy and practice involves both central and local government in significant but different ways, and that it is necessary to transcend the national or local focus in order to see what is going on. Not only are both central and local government involved in housing, but they are engaged in complex relationships with each other as well as other state and private institutions. The book does not attempt to be comprehensive; it is increasingly apparent that comprehensive accounts of housing policy and practice cannot be contained within one volume without sacrificing essential analysis and discussion. Instead the approach is thematic and selective. A main theme is the distinct contribution of central and local government in housing policy and practice, and the importance of the relationship between these two levels of state activity. As an analytical device, this focus provides a framework on which to build an understanding of the involvement of other state institutions and private interests. A very important idea underpinning the analysis and presentation is the need to avoid a tenure-by-tenure approach. A basic assumption in this book is that tenure divisions can often obscure more than they reveal, and that changes affecting the different tenures have to be understood as being closely interrelated.

Housing associations have deep historical roots and are currently the fastest growing part of the British housing system, occupying a key position in relation to government policy on social exclusion and neighbourhood regeneration. This book provides the first detailed account of the historical development of voluntary housing organisations. Drawing on original research, the book develops a new angle on housing in Britain, showing how successive governments have shaped and reshaped housing associations into instruments of policy in the modernised welfare state.

Established as the leading text in the field, this thoroughly revised and updated edition provides a comprehensive account of the current issues, set in a clear historical context. It assesses the legacy of eighteen years of Conservative governments and the initial policy impact of New Labour and the problems and challenges it now confronts. This book remains essential reading for all who wish to understand and contribute to determining the pace and direction of change in housing into the twenty-first century.

Reference

This new analysis of housing policy in Britain since 1945 challenges conventional notions of the relationship between housing and the welfare state. It argues that housing policy in the years after the Second World War is better understood in terms of market restructuring. However, in more recent years housing has been at the forefront of changes that have drawn it closer to other welfare state services, and the modernisation of public services is continuing the trend.

Housing and the Welfare State: The Development of Housing Policy in Britain

Following its radical housing policy reforms of the early 1980s, the British government carried out a fundamental policy review in 1986-87 and launched into a further bout of major legislative change in the Housing Act 1988, and the Local Government and Housing Act 1989. These Acts introduced a range of new policy instruments which are being applied with differing degrees of success. This book provides an account of the new housing policy in action.
