Putting Home Adaptations on the Policy Agenda in England
Countries with aging populations require people to remain independent for as long as possible to reduce pressures on health and care services. England has an old housing stock, low replacement rates and little specialized housing for older people. There is grant assistance to adapt homes, but resources are restricted and service pathways complex. This article charts the findings of change management projects and national reviews that show that re…
The Structural Neglect of Disabled Housing Association Tenants in England: Politics, Economics and Discourse
In England, almost half of all housing association households have a disabled member who may need home adaptations to improve their health and well-being. Resources for funding adaptation work are, however, inadequate; responsibility is contested and government has repeatedly refused to give clear guidance. The problems have been exacerbated by the increasingly hybrid nature of a ‘sector’ too diverse for any single solution. The research on which…
Funding and managing the adaptation of owner occupied homes for people with physical disabilities
The importance of housing in the implementation of community care policies is increasingly being recognized. Adapted housing is particularly important for people with physical disabilities if they are to remain living in their own homes or to return to their homes after leaving hospital. In 1990 there was a major change in the funding arrangements for adaptation work with the introduction of a new disabled facilities grant. This paper draws on th…
Encouraging Private Investment in Older Housing
In the United Kingdom owner occupied pre-1919 housing forms the largest element of housing stock in poor condition and is the main focus of housing renewal policies. The rapid growth of homeownership and lack of rental houses have attracted many low income people. Grants to homeowners for repair and improvement have been the focus of government renewal policies over the past 20 years. Grant aid has not always targeted the worst properties nor has…
The Long Term Impact of Staying Put
Staying Put projects provide practical help to older home owners with the repair and improvement of their homes. A number of studies have examined the immediate impact of this help on the housing conditions experienced by older people and on their ability to remain living independently in the community, but the extent to which these benefits could last for a long period of time was not known. This paper describes the findings of a study which att…
The role of the private sector in housing renewal: Lessons from the neighbourhood revitalisation services experiment in England
During the 1980s the British government made a number of attempts to involve the private sector in the administration and financing of housing renewal initiatives in inner city areas. One of the most significant of these was the Neighbourhood Revitalisation Services (NRS) initiative which was based on the Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) concept developed in the United States. This paper traces the history of housing renewal policy in England …

This paper reviews developments in private sector housing renewal policy in England and Wales in the 1980s, and looks forward to the 1990s in the light of new legislation which came into operation in July 1990.

It then…
