A tough act to follow

Article Abstract:

The 1988 Housing Act was intended to make Housing Associations the main providers of social, rented housing. While the Act has given the Associations more freedom, it has had some unforeseen consequences which have affected the provision of housing. The reduction of space standards, the abandonment of rehabilitation projects and the increasing control by central government of spending are some of the results of the Act. In the future, housing associations may lose political ground to private housing companies which would be free of financial constraints.
