- Summary
- Housing is rising up the political agenda, thanks to the steep increase in homelessness and repossessions. The single most important measure needed to reverse these trends and resume the long march against housing poverty is an increase in good quality rented accommodation, from local authorities, housing associations, and private landlords. The authors argue that a National Housing Bank is required to overcome the current deficiency in financing housing for rental outside the public sector. The bank should operate as a commercial body, borrowing from institutional sources and lending to landlords, who could use the money to build new properties or renovate existing ones. The government, through the Bank of England, should have a minority shareholding. -- Page 4 of cover.
