Housing Associations and Housing Policy by Peter Malpass

Housing Associations and Housing Policy by Peter Malpass

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.

'This is a well-researched and definitive book that deserves to be read, not least because a movement which forgets its history will soon forget its values' - James Tickell, Roof 'Malpass makes you think. I could not put this book down. It should be required reading for every Board member, for everyone who works in housing, and anyone who cares. It will influence generations of students, and whatever ructions it causes - as it might - it is important because its conclusions will not easily be repudiated.' - John Park, Axis

PETER MALPASS has been involved in research and teaching on housing and housing policy since 1970. He is Professor of Housing Policy at the University of the West of England, Bristol.
